Er flamingo. I said that. The networkrail chap cold not have been more complimentary about FGW^▸ (First Great Western). What I did not like before was the blame everyone else. With that attitude we were never going to get a decent service. You look as if you are part of that school. Sad   

First post for me. I joined this site because I wanted to have a whinge. That was earlier this year. I travel between Reading and Paddington daily. I have not posted because having had many weeks of misery in 2007 I can not believe what has happened and all for the better. Andrew Haines definetly has my vote. I am very impressed. I was hoping to meet him at the last meet the manager meeting in Paddington to shake his hand rather than ring his neck. It was there I got talking to one of the network rail chaps and he was telling me about all the things that had been done on the line by the staff and how they had gone about their task with great help from the train operators. It was that last bit that stuck in my head. I remember only too well those flyers left on our seats saying it had nothing to do with FGW^▸ (First Great Western) which was kidding nobody. Now can Mr Haines do something about the extortionate price of our tickets?
