I Hate First Great Western: What do you think the train manager said?
http://ihatefirstgreatwestern.blogspot.com/2008/07/what-do-you-think-train-manager-said.html
I Hate First Great Western. Wednesday, July 02, 2008. What do you think the train manager said? On my way back to Slough on the next service ten minutes later, the train manager didn't get as far as my seat before I exited the train, so I didn't have a chance to test the theory twice. But there you go, scary-sounding train manager being completely reasonable about a genuine mistake. So, why did I have such a bad day you ask? 3 July 2008 at 14:11. 4 July 2008 at 11:11. Since reading and Slough are both ti...

I Hate First Great Western: December 2007
http://ihatefirstgreatwestern.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
I Hate First Great Western. Saturday, December 22, 2007. We wish you a Merry Christmas. I imagine most of you will be settling back this weekend and enjoying Christmas already, so in the spirit of the tradition of playing word games whilst slumped on the sofa after a massive roast lunch, I thought it would be fun to give you a few anagrams of "I Hate First Great Western" that I've been slaving over whilst at the office today. Reintegrate a Fresh Twist. A Teenager Writes Thrifts. Thereafter is a Grits Newt.

I Hate First Great Western: March 2008
http://ihatefirstgreatwestern.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
I Hate First Great Western. Friday, March 28, 2008. I cannot tell you how eye-poppingly angry I was last night at First Great Western. Of course this is not true. I can, and am about to tell you in great detail, so please brace yourself. Still, I digress. They finally opened the doors and I settled down with my book, unaware that 2221 had come and gone until an announcement revealed that the driver was late arriving at the station "but should be here in approximately three minutes". The driver being ...

I Hate First Great Western: February 2008
http://ihatefirstgreatwestern.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
I Hate First Great Western. Thursday, February 28, 2008. I don't hate South West Trains. I took the South West trains service from Windsor to Waterloo today, as allowed by my new dual availability ticket, and from thence, a Northern Line train to my destination. I was at work 15 minutes early, I had a seat throughout, and I enjoyed the scenic views of Staines and Feltham as we sailed through (okay, that bit is a slight exaggeration). It went slowly, but, crucially, it went slowly exactly to time. Well, s...

I Hate First Great Western: Not very app-Ealing
http://ihatefirstgreatwestern.blogspot.com/2008/07/not-very-app-ealing.html
I Hate First Great Western. Thursday, July 03, 2008. Isn't Ealing Broadway station horrible? Specially late at night. No, actually, let me rephrase that. Aren't the drunk people at Ealing Broadway station horrible? Me, I'll bring a cushion. And a larger book. Ik That sounds bad. I had to put up with the clubbers going out the other day. God knows what it would be like coming back with them. 14 July 2008 at 20:21. Http:/ www.videophonesguide.com. 16 January 2009 at 05:38. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I Hate First Great Western: Let's get something clear here
http://ihatefirstgreatwestern.blogspot.com/2008/06/lets-get-something-clear-here.html
I Hate First Great Western. Monday, June 23, 2008. Let's get something clear here. I'm getting a bit fed up of people thinking that because I encourage people to wear badges saying "I Hate First Great Western" when they are receiving a bad service, that I am also the kind of person who kicks puppies and pushes old ladies into the road. Yes - you should get a Brompton! From a 25yr old brompton convert. 25 June 2008 at 13:07. And you worry about me on a motorbike? 25 June 2008 at 18:05. Dear I HATE FGW.

I Hate First Great Western: April 2008
http://ihatefirstgreatwestern.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
I Hate First Great Western. Monday, April 28, 2008. Buffet, or no buffet? That is the question. Did everyone catch Dom Joly's Complainers tonight? In other news, I hear on the grapevine of something really scandalous. An e-mail arrived in my inbox, bearing the following message:. Did you know that FGW are experimenting with doing away with the buffet car on at least 6 sets running between Cardiff and London? Please, someone say it's not so! Links to this post.

I Hate First Great Western: November 2007
http://ihatefirstgreatwestern.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
I Hate First Great Western. Wednesday, November 14, 2007. To hell with global warming, give me a patio heater! The weather's taken a bit of a turn for the chilly, as I'm sure you've noticed. Whilst actually on the train, this is not an issue, as we are warmed in the same way as people stuck up mountains. No, we don't get naked and climb into each other's sleeping bags, but we do huddle close together, whether we like it or not. My least favourite place to be when it's cold is the Hammersmith and City pla...

I Hate First Great Western: May 2008
http://ihatefirstgreatwestern.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
I Hate First Great Western. Monday, May 12, 2008. So there I was, smiling valiantly and answering the questions of rail expert Christian Wolmar, as he asked me exactly why I spend my spare time moaning about First Great Western and sending people badges to wear when their trains are delayed, when something unexpected emerged. Links to this post. Thursday, May 08, 2008. The sun is out, the sky is blue, I wish I didn't have to be in work today, as it seems such a waste of one of the really glorious days of...

I Hate First Great Western: And now, for our Welsh viewers
http://ihatefirstgreatwestern.blogspot.com/2008/06/and-now-for-our-welsh-viewers.html
I Hate First Great Western. Tuesday, June 03, 2008. And now, for our Welsh viewers. Sorry it's been a while since my last missive. I have been away to the fair isle of Ireland, and not a train did I see during that time, armed as I was with a Ford Focus and a road map. This led me to wonder what other PR victories the company could score, by simply adding a few extra bonuses to their service. Answers on a postcard. Why not make the trains slower? How I agree. People often quote train services on the ...
