Funny But True

@FGW I think you should be added as a synonym to 'delayed', 'ineffective', 'inefficient' 'incapable' and 'unprofessional' in the dictionary!

Trains broken down, signalling failures and a problem at a level crossing. More eventful than an episode of Thomas The Tank Engine!!!! @FGW

Is there anything less sincere than an automated @fgw apology?

@FGW if your time table were correct I would nearly be home. alas it is but a fairy tale u should stack it next to Harry potter

had a surprisingly pleasant journey with @fgw this morning, apparently the trick is just to leave 30 mins earlier than you need to.

"the delay was caused by this train not running on time" Perhaps the worst explanation for a late train ever. Bravo @FGW @fgwkmc

We just got asked to all breathe in so a couple more people could fit on the train. @FGW your service has been undeniably dire this week

@UKtech_addict @fgwkmc @FGW To get the true delay time, multiply by 2 and add another 20 min or so.

I live in hope that one day First Great Western get the hang of this whole "train" thing.

@FGW Usual fantastic service from the great western this week. When im wealthy enough to buy first group I'll take it to the ground.

@FGW it's a joke. And not a funny one. Well it is funny to think just how poor one service can be

@Southstokenews @FGW @fgwkmc catch the local donkey at 8.39 to arrive in paddington tomorrow.

Breaking News: First Great Western to re-brand Last Worst Western, to celebrate their actual performance.

Considering one of our "on time" trains as merely one that is 'not yet delayed' will help passengers manage their expectations.

That's fine for Elsie but you didn't take the time to make sure I was on time for work today. @FGW @fgwkmc pic.twitter.com/GWZkXDXC19

@fgw "We are sorry to announce…" at Reading so frequent they're interrupting each other.

@FGW Being grateful that my train is only one minute late is sad, it's like going to Tesco and being happy the staff didn't punch me.

Ooooh we are now stationary at Slough as opposed to going slowly. Have I got time to nip out for a pizza? @fgw @fgwkmc

My manager travelled on fgw at the weekend, he now understands why I am frequently late to work.

— FGW Ruin Lives (@FGWruinlives) January 14, 2014

Pick a number, any number, add it to the @fgw 17.09, that's your eventual arrival time

I like how @FGW's artwork represents a typical train journey – starts off well and then shit gets cray. pic.twitter.com/kS8hkX68Ia
