I wonder when FGW▸ (First Great Western) 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▸ (First Great Western) and posts should not be assumed and do not imply they are statements, unless explicitly stated that they are, from any TOC▸ (Train Operating Company) including First Great Western.

Interesting that FGW▸ (First Great Western) 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▸ (Freedom of Information) 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▸ (Train Operating Company) and David Mapp at ATOC» (Association of Train Operating Companies see - here) to see if they have discussed the many legitimate workarounds that future ALR▸ (All Line Rover ticket) 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.....
