Anyone got the qualifications to apply for this and influence the direction and speed up an implementation of a rail reform? @Southern_Trains @SW_Trauma @RRDRUA @RedhillRail @GrumpNow @Crap_GWR @GWRFailway @BadSouthernRail @swtrains_watch @sw_bingo

@GWRHelp - why suddenly pull out of a scheme to encourage people to use rail rather than road? Can't find anything about it on your website. Got letter from @easit ONE DAY after renewing for a year that scheme ends in March! #publictransport #sustainabletransport

Have you noticed these great guides at your local station? 📖 If you're travelling through Somerset, Wiltshire, Bristol, or Gloucestershire, take a look and see what #GWRAdventures are on your own doorstep! 🏙️🚄🌲
Also picked up these four handy new guides to day trips from @sgloscouncil stations produced by @SevernsideCRP & @GWRHelp Lots of ideas and like the design! #CommunityRail @ACoRPOffice

Anyone who thinks a no deal Brexit is OK is not paying attention, doesn’t eat fresh food, doesn’t need medication, has lots of fx to hedge against sterling and couldn’t care less about people’s jobs. There. I said it.

John McDonnell being absolutely crystal clear on when Labour will back a General Election. Surprised that so many TV presenters still saying they don’t understand Labour’s position.

Currently comparing which bus companies thrive in Bristol. Blue is First Bus, light green is Bristol Community Transport and orange is Stagecoach. The other colours are smaller, independent companies such as Abus. It is quite clear which companies are hugging the most routes.

the only thing “great” about great western railway is the great big prices and the great big shambles of a service they provide. Modern day highwaymen! @GWRFailway

@GWRHelp @Crap_GWR @GWRFailway Train advertised as 'On Time' but time has passed and no show on the train. No wonder you have such trouble running your railway when simple concepts of time elude you!!!

The company accounts for First Great Western reveal that the best paid director received £452,000 last year, including a £192,000 bonus. That is an increase of 37% or £123,000 from the previous year.

#GWR getting hit hard this morning. Something about a driver going through a red signal and derailing a train? #MassiveDelays

@GWRFailway @PaulFlynnMP @GWRHelp As if by magic to help emphasise the deplorable service offered by GWR, a tiny two carriage train chugged into the station to carry all the commuters from North Bristol, Newport and Cardiff. That's three cities on one tiny train!!

In #China you can save money & buy a #hardseat which is as it sounds. In Britain we pay highest fares in Europe & still get hard seats! #GreatWesternRail thanks for making my journey an ordeal! #disabled @GWRFailway

So the first group of #GWRNewTrains on test broke the signalling systems... this second group pull down the overhead cables. Can we assume @GWRHelp that the next group will be pulling up the track? #Shitachi #GWRAdventures

My train was delayed because of “poor ground conditions in the Reading area” Magma? Goblins swarming the dwarven mines? Someone accidentally sowed the earth with dragon teeth and raised an army of skeletal warriors?
