The difference between dread of an FGW train trip and root canal treatment is: root canal work is never as painful as you think it might be

@FGW It's a great way to make new friends. This morning I had my nose jammed in someone's armpit, this evening I've two people on my lap.

@FGW Does the big 'F' on your logo denote what you do to passengers? Most are 'F' ed by high fares,late trains,standing-only & rude staff…

Just had an announcement on an FGW train to report anything suspicious. Should I report empty seats and a usable WiFi connection? @fgwkmc

0816 #totnes to #Paddington – boiler broken, so no tea! Worse than no wifi and being late @FGW #FallingApart pic.twitter.com/461BSPvmjy

@FGW you're right! Where else can you pay £100+ for the pleasure of standing on a crowded train! #lastWorstWestern

@emski1011 @teamhipflask @FGW I wonder what happened to the 'additional' seating they've promised for years. Unless it's on the platform…

I see the words 'rail chaos' on a Saturday and know instantly it will involve 1) First Great Western 2) sport, and 3) Paddington or Bristol

.@FGW livery says lots about the service. Begins calm, serene, on-time; rapidly becomes erratic, late and depressing pic.twitter.com/SX428LhR3d

So @FGW is re-branding to just Great Western. I guess 'First' breached Trades Descriptions.

FGW have rebranded this morning. It appears they've renamed themselves "we apologise for the delay to this great western railways service"
— Matt Whelan (@OldMatt) September 21, 2015
#fgw if it's all getting too much just take your train company into witness protection and call it @GWRUK from @FGW and hope people forget!
— n z hendo (@MRBROADCAST1) September 21, 2015
Did I read that @FGW is giving the region the railway it deserves? Makes me wonder what the west ever did to @FGW. Must have been bad.

The new GWR branding really evokes a bygone age. As does the absence of working wifi and 30mph speeds….. @teamhipflask @fgw #authentic

All new with @GWRUK -> 1731 MAI-RDG four minutes late instead of 2min when it was @FGW. @CommutingRants @teamhipflask

@GWRHelp – your 1552 PAD:WOS #SardineExpress suffers from worse crowding than the @FGW 1552 PAD:WOS #SardineExpress did! #GWR #FGW

@turningthetide @teamhipflask @GWRUK Anyway, they cancelled the 0715 because IT WASN'T GREEN! Only GREEN trains in our brave new utopia!

.@FGW If you'd rebranded as "Great Western Railways Apologises" you could have saved on the cost of 98% of your comms.

Hey @GWRHelp I paid £256 for a return Cheltenham to London-there are other people on train- I assumed for that price it was a private trip?

The @FGW #rebrand to @GWRHelp not fooling passengers on 17.49 to Oxford. New look trains have apparently fooled the driver though. Isn't one

@gwrhelp btw what is going on at your depot? Looking at your feed there are a lot of delayed services coming from the depot!

At last I understand First Great Western's 3-level fare structure: Advance Rip Off, Standard Daylight Robbery, and Anytime Extortion.

Today, I'm going to behave like @GWRhelp; arrive late, stop working unexpectedly with no explanation, but still expect the same pay.
