So we did it! 559 Members voted remotely in today’s trial. A system built in under 4 weeks. I think that’s a success in anyone’s book. Thanks to all who offered words of support when we hit those sticky patches. Too many of you to name but it really kept us going!

This is by far my favourite ever GWR excuse for a delayed train... “The sea flooded the railway” Well played lads @GWRHelp this is amazing...

Who remembers these? We were told they would be essential for every job we ever applied for, and that if we didn't take them seriously we would basically end up on the dole for life.
Mine has been in a cupboard at my parents' house for 19 years.

It's easy, Crossrail goes underground but isn't Underground, Underground spends most of its time above ground national rail goes overground but sometimes in a tunnel, not to be confused with Overground which makes it's mind up on a daily basis.

Well known rail industry euphemism for “we didn’t plan our maintenance well enough”

Why are people so disgusting when eating on public transport?
Just for fucks sake! Close. Your. Mouth. Whilst. Eating!

Oh, turn of your keypad touch tones too please, because that’s not irritating at all.

Good morning @GWRHelp - I’m on a short formed IET. I have no reserved seat. I’m standing again. You have lied about #extraseats You are a total disgrace. #Liars #Cheats #Frottage – at Thatcham, England

Hi @GWRHelp is this true?
Are you able to confirm that you are compensated in some way each time one of the new trains breaks down whilst in service?
#GWR must are doing well from Hitachi issues. They only pay to use the train when it's not faulty. They continue to receive revenue from passengers.

God help us when the electric only cross rail trains start running from reading ... they are going to be stuck out west all the time ...

Did you ever wonder why your season ticket is so expensive and the service you receive is so poor - The company accounts for First Greater Western reveal that a director received £452,000 last year, including a £192,000 bonus. That is an increase of 37% or £123,000 on 2017.

On the 0900 Bristol to Paddington, what wondrous luxuries await.... The first one being the hard seat on the Hitachi... I wonder what else will happen en route? Will we leave on time? Will we make it? Will it be 2019 when we arrive? *#hardseatgwr #GWRAdventures

@Poundland #naughtyelf let the fun begin, retailers take note! This is what the British public wants and needs to see at Christmas! @jlandpartners @marksandspencer Stop paying celebs and start putting the money to good causes instead 🇬🇧 – at Royston, England

Exemplary week, even by their standards! I had to stop using the train because I was late to work everyday. Apparently "it's GWR" stopped being an acceptable excuse after the 300th time I used it!

Good morning lads @GWRHelp as you’re not willing to admit it was your train maybe this could help? #GWRAdventures
