Default MAJOR Disruption at Slough on FGW

I suppose FGW are having trouble getting enough rolling stock down here
yet.


VXC not 100% together, either. Train pretty full and two different ladies
both have a reservation for the seat opposite me (verified by the staff),
reservation displays not working (nor are scrolling displays over the
doors) and they are using the traditional printed seat back labels. No
at-seat service in 1st, with passengers asked to go to the shop and show
their FC ticket.

Oh, and I have a wonderful view (not) through a beige pillar, just the
same as on Voyager the way down - do they deliberately give those seats to
people with really cheap tickets?


Perhaps they have a computer that can correlate critical usenet posters with
AP ticket requests?
