I wonder when FGW^▸ will wonder when they've 'missed a trick' and ask to be included in the AL restriction code from the next fares revision (read increase).

I will have a word with someone at FGW and ask, if they will include themselves in it.
I suspect Hopwood would veto it considering he's one hell of a train enthusiast, from my conversations with him.

I do not work for FGW^▸ and posts should not be assumed and do not imply they are statements, unless explicitly stated that they are, from any TOC^▸ including First Great Western.

Is that a bad thing? I quite like Hoovers as well. Wink

Interesting that FGW^▸ were to be included, but for some unknown reason, decided against inclusion at what appears to be the last minute. There is mention, in passing, in those FOI^▸ documents, the FGW may have wanted an easement for their Sleeper arrival into Paddington.

It would be nice to see if there has been further correspondence between TOCs^▸ and David Mapp at ATOC^» to see if they have discussed the many legitimate workarounds that future ALR^▸ users intend to use. Workarounds that have been discussed openly on internet forums.

I'm one that intends to travel out of Euston before 1000 on my next ALR.....
