First Great Western - 17:30 27/02/2009 Paddington to Taunton farce

An announcement came over the train P.A. asking people to get off the train because it was too crowded! This just after the delayed 17:15 train passengers were asked, by First Great Western, to leave their train and join ours because theirs was broken and ours would leave sooner!

There were no further announcements before we left. 13 minutes late.

In the waiting period, one of the directors of First Capital Connect approached the buffet area, and asked to speak to the train manager because, and I quote, "There's plenty of room in first class, why are we still sitting here?" She left telling the poor buffet guy that there were 3 of them sitting in first class if they were needed! Nice to know.

If we don't hit Reading in the next 8 minutes, I'll miss my connection. Joy.
