There now follows some of the more – interesting – photos from First Great Western customers. Please be warned that some of these photos are quite unpleasant. However, in the spirit of supporting the cat, some of the more extra yucky images will not be posted.
"Thank you for travelling with First Great Western". No offence but I don't really have a choice.

Sorry ladies and gentlemen, if you pardon the pun.
Roll up! Roll up! See the amazing disintegrating carriage to get things started!
Theo sent us these photos from the Bristol Temple Meads to Cardiff service on 13 Nov 2012. We think it was the 17:21 service.
Theo writes: “I saved a guy from getting this panel right on to his head and then he had to hold it up pretty much until Newport. The last picture shows the root cause – they just hadn’t bolted it on! Talking about criminal maintenance negligence here, imagine taking this full-force head-on.”
Poor show, First Great Western. Very poor show. And some very lucky passengers. Health and safety at work, I think you’ll agree.
Was Dodgy Norman responsible?
Wonder what this is all about. It doesn't exactly instil confidence! #fgw pic.twitter.com/4ySnR4Wk

Cat was under 1 year old when Cat learned to clean up afterwards. However, Cat didn`t have a cleaning team.
@FGW good evening #FGW your train is an absolute state. Please explain why I am paying this much money? pic.twitter.com/JiDdbhnt

@FGW on 10:21am Reading to Paddington. Urine all over floor in carriage, stinks and is unsanitary. What is going on?? Feel Refund please.

Even the cat knows to use the litter tray. Yes, that`s the wee wee train.
@FGW no sign of guard at all on train Reg!! To confirm 3rd carriage. Crazy! pic.twitter.com/plab4iYv

But look! The issue was reported that morning, so must have been resolved later that day, right? Right?
Wow!! The stench of wee wee on this @FGW train from Slough to Paddington really is quite pungent. Last cleaned 1997 I think. #notgood

Bad luck, First Great Western. Worse luck for your passengers. How well was the issue reported then? Read the tweet, reply, then delete?
Toilets on @FGW 10.21 from Paddington before leaving station. Carnival cruise took days to get like this. pic.twitter.com/LdbS8V9Q

@FGW … and the standard of the train is poor. Look at this carpet! What are you spending your profits on? http://t.co/7f1S0l8hUl

@FGW in regards to my previous tweet about trains look like dumpsters. I got on at cardiff, this seat wasn't used. pic.twitter.com/827iZ01rhh

On train back from town on @FGW and it smells of urine, not a great end to a pleasant evening!

@fgwkmc you're being unfair. There may be rarely running water in the toilets, but at least there's always stuff to buy in their shop

Do you think that this is acceptably clean for your train which left paddington 10 minutes ago? @FGW #despair pic.twitter.com/uqlRyExYnO

@FGW if you're still there Reg, you'll love this. Train back – got the bike on, but raw sewage leaking from the toilet.

I don't think it's ok for you to charge me the amount of money you do and expect me to deal with your shitters @FGW pic.twitter.com/KfJhfbb7q5

This @fgw train smells rank. Smells moudly. Only just worked out what's been bugging me. #slowbraintoday

Uh oh. Paddington station right now. What the ***** is going on @fgw?? #firsthatewestern pic.twitter.com/Qd3PfLPsG5

@FGW I hope this queue at Maidenhead Station isn't making people miss your trains. pic.twitter.com/fqNPQ16Ekr

@FGW I'm really grossed out. This was on the floor of the men's toilets on platform 2 in Bath Spa #yuck pic.twitter.com/aZdCu0XkpN

Lots of faeces & toilet paper lying between rails at platform 8 at Paddington station. #publichealth @FGW pic.twitter.com/fpSRoYLzjo

Whoops. Slight problem finding the platform?
I think this needs an investigation @FGW pic.twitter.com/lQewE7uOJo

Never mind. These things must be very rare.
@MattyHufflett @jonathanbeard89 It was a driver error unfortunately. ^Paul
