It's just not working, is it?

This new timetable. It's just rubbish, isn't it? Putting aside the ridiculous overcrowding caused by replacing HST sets with Adelantes, this week has been nothing but delays and cancellations. The turnaround time at Temple Meads is still too short, meaning that even a small delay between Paddington and Bristol causes the outbound trains to be delayed.

More trains seem to be running from Weston Super Mare instead of Temple Meads with the inevitable delays that seem to occur on that stretch of line - and who is benefiting from this? No-one, that's who, because the trains from Weston are empty when they get to Temple Meads.

More trains are stopping at Keynsham. Why? Because Third Rate Western refuse to invest in new rolling stock.

More people are getting utterly sick of putting up with this poor excuse for a train service.

Is anyone listening?
