I have read the first few pages and concur with the problems of overcrowding in the ticket hall area. Yesterday (Fri 6th Nov 2009) at 1330ish the queue for tickets, at both the manned windows and the TVMs▸ extended out of the main entrance. The queue for the Travel Centre was also spilling out onto the booking hall concourse..
i too saw the que for tickets yesterday,whilst having a crafty smoke around 14.00 the line of people was almost at the taxi rank cafe,could it be bridgwater carnival travellers causing extra ques? as the taunton trains yesterday afternoon were also very busy.
Ah, Bridgwater Carnival. I didn't think of that. Kinda explains some of the extra people I guess. I wonder whether the loadings were significantly higher for a Friday on stoppers to Taunton later into the afternoon. Did
FGW▸ provide any extra services to Bridgwater before and after Carnival?
as far as i am aware no extra services for carnival,lets face it FGW struggle with the normal service let alone any extra
