FirstGroup - ******s they may be - shine like brilliant beacons of
success compared to Thames Trains.


Dont have that much experience of the GWML I admit however I do know
that yes FGW is outstanding but FGWL is a differnt type of operation.
Just because First run a good INTERCITY service does not default to a
good inner and outer suburban service.

Always the problem no matter where you look these days that on a
weekend a solitary DMU is not enough. TPX, Virgin (lets not go
there!), FNW (whatever it is now). Whenever I have travelled on the
above companies a single DMU is not sufficient. But this is without
previous cancellations I refer to. Anyway feel I am digressing.
