Cardiff 536

Firstly its a train. To be precise the 5.36 pm First Great Western service to Cardiff from Bath Spa.

I take this train back home everyday and as luck would have it, in my humble opinion, it is also the worst performing rail service in the Western world (I joke not!)

Statistics won't allow me to say it is late 10/10 times but I will still say it, if only to release some of the anger. ;)

Often the train has tiptoe room only (great if you are a ballerina) because First Great Western are facing 'an acute shortage of rolling stock' in these 'difficult economic times' (sob sob).

I don't know whether this is a problem of privatization or a simple case of some manager in FGW not doing his/her job.

:D
