A(nother) new record

Hurrah, an all new level of utter patheticness!

Depart Chippenham, on time, at 7:46.
Stop at Bathampton Junction (as usual) at 7:55
Wait
Wait some more
Wait
Wait
Depart Bathampton Junction at 8:16
Arrive Bath at 8:20
Depart Bath at 8:22
Follow pissy little stopping service to Keynsham
Stop at Keynsham
Arrive Bristol at 8:39

8:39!

That's 53 minutes from Chippenham to Bristol. To add insult to injury, the "train manager" announces as we leave Bath (at 8:22) that we are due in to Bristol at, wait for it, 8:22.

How much longer do we have to put up with this nonsense?

I take it you are presuming that FGW are wholly to blame for this problem...I do not see you mentioning anything about why you were apparently delayed and so I'm making an educated guess that you are indeed angry at FGW when, for all you know, it might not be FGWs fault at all (Network Fail/Notwork Fail could be at fault for this matter leaving FGW not being able to do anything!). A train would not wait at a station for longer than it needed to, I can assure you!
