Across the West is now on top of the forum as one of the most popular boards here - it's intended for general posts concerning issues right across the FGW (First Great Western) area.   But, PLEASE, can you use the other boards just below where they're appropriate.  They are ....

News, Help & Assistance
Board includes useful links / forum agreement / posting policy and much more!

Who's who on western railways
(Names, Contacts, responsibilities)

Smoke and Mirrors
(Examples of being bounced from person to person with no-one taking responsibility ... very much the sort of thing we've had on the TransWilts campaign where everyone would love to help ... but points to the next person around the circle!)

Fare's Fair
(Which is the best fare?  How can you do better?  What are the ticket types?)

Other ways to travel
(Anything from the new catamaran service across the Bristol Channel to SWT (South West Trains)!)

Your rights and redress
(What you can do if something goes wrong - for example, if the train on which you have a "this train ONLY" ticket is cancelled ...)

Another place you might like to look - how trains are running across the West - cancellations and short workings reported in the last 48 hours.

An ancient message we have "stickied" on this board, but it still applies in principle ...


EDIT - I have split the topic so that I could provide an up to date list of boards at the top of a sticky thread, and I'm unsticking thus thread which will gently slip towards the archive.  The new thread is at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/29081
