Funny But True

So First Great Western are more concerned about social media, than the Shit rail service they provide! @BBCWiltshire pic.twitter.com/OLJHFQIx8E

WiFi now available on most First Great Western trains – seemingly powered by a Ugandan mobile phone from 1998.

Apologies won't get me to work First Great Western, trains do that and yours don't work.

@fgwkmc just got my latest news from FGW Wifi – President JFK has been shot

It's 8.33am. On the platform for the 'on time' 8.34am @FGW train to Paddington. 1st class at the front apparently. pic.twitter.com/zGanftC4cj

London calling? Visit http://t.co/pSeKnj8ORp for the lowest fares. #BeAGreatWesterner pic.twitter.com/WEWZ0TgNdA

@FGW of course its the lowest fares, there isn't any competition from Wales to London… Most expensive as well

@BBCWiltshire @FGW my God id hate to have to travel on the worst then! Amazed it is only 45000 complaints

— Bryan Wills (@willb69) February 27, 2015

Only a @FGW could get to Burnham early and then wait here until we are delayed.

— Julia (@Jufaceyeah) February 27, 2015

@LiamTheLemming @FGW The wifi is the least of our concerns. Have you seen the state of the train you're sat on?

— FGW Employee (@railway_dweeb) February 27, 2015

I think @fgw meant to put 'waiting for train' here @fgwkmc pic.twitter.com/DqTPqG5nv4

— JP (@HelloJP) February 27, 2015

@philmanger @fgwkmc @FGW i go the other way and it isnt any better,i would say we get what we pay for but i havent seen any gold trains

— tim tam (@piddlewords) February 27, 2015

Think first great western should be banned from using the phrase 'on time' as its a gross misrepresentation of what is actually going on

— Emi Repetto (@emi_repetto) February 28, 2015

The newly installed 'high speed internet' on @FGW's train service is offensively slow aka it just doesn't work 👏👏👏 pic.twitter.com/om0zI685yf

Can I get a discount on my season ticket @fgw for your inability to run a train to my station after 9pm?

— Gareth Rutter (@GaReth_Rutter) March 10, 2015

@fgw not enjoying the free wifi. It's about as reliable as your trains and equally slow. Does anything you do work at all?

— LastLateWorsten (@SimonHogfress) March 10, 2015

@turningthetide @FGW @emily1780 @ThatsMyTrain Sorry. There's only so many second hand wi-fi hubs we could get on the cheap off eBay.

Is it a hedgehog? Is it a tortoise?! No. It's the 7.50 @FGW train crawling it's way into London

That old chestnut "signalling problems" making a comeback today. It's been a while, old friend. @FGW

— Adam Edwards (@AdamEdw) March 12, 2015

@fgwkmc it's the WiFi that powers the trains. It's why it's so slow

First Great Western travel services: because you didn't want to get to work on time anyway

First Great Western announcing that the shop is open in coach K is great, now just 7 coaches of people standing in the aisles to navigate.

@FGW Hannah, Sam, grant, Phil it seems there r more people looking after ur social media accounts than trains

— Ather Kazmi (@2Kazmi) March 15, 2015

@FGW At least I have the courtesy of showing up on time, you should try at least once this year

— Luap Sirrom (@prjmorris) March 16, 2015

@Jufaceyeah @FGW 'DELAYED' is another FGW word for 'GOOD MORNING ALL'!

— TheGilham5 (@TheGilham5) March 16, 2015

@FGW 45 minute journey that took 2 hours and 7. Well done to all concerned. Congratulate Mr. Hopwood on his bonus, please.

@FGW £4,800 & yet to get a seat on a morning train from #Reading > #Paddington. Might aswell sit on top and work on my tan and sell monkeys.

— Graham Newell (@GcNewell44) March 17, 2015

@the_bald_man @FGW could easily be rebranded Third Poor Western. At least then it would be honest.

— Rob (@Mikes_Brother) March 17, 2015

On time? Adequate seating? Reasonably clean? This can't be a @FGW train can it? Of course not! Thanks @SW_Trains! pic.twitter.com/NqEqX2fKxC

Dear @FGW your wifi "service" is so pathetic you may as well employ a town crier on each station to shout the Arsenal score to me #fail
