@FGW not a great end to our honeymoon Paddington-Swansea delayed :( unhappy newlyweds! #FGW

Then they update it so it's no longer 'on time' but expected one minute ago. #timetravel @FGW pic.twitter.com/vbLPKS2Zgv

My first @FGW train 2 London in 2015 arrived 15 minutes late. Great start 2 the year continuing from ur appalling punctuality record in 2014

@FGW it would be okay if it was just today. but 25 out of my last 29 journeys have arrived late A Simply unacceptable level of incompetence

That's an impressive and sneaky start @FGW …the 6:45 was delayed until 7, then 7 arrived and it's magically vanished (stolen I presume?!)

First commute of 2015 and @fgw are delayed, delayed, delayed. Fantastic start to the new year #delayed #late #fgw #SameOld

— Sam (@Super_SamR) January 5, 2015

Start as you mean to go on @FGW. First day back at work for many commuters and our train is nowhere in sight!

— Batticus (@nicetobatyou) January 5, 2015

First day back and true to form, delays with @FGW

— Hollee (@HolleeKilkenny) January 5, 2015

Can't remember the last time I caught a @fgw train that was on time – sort it out

— philippa swift (@philippaswift) January 5, 2015

@fgw Brill, late again. Glad you haven't just put prices up for the same "standard" of service. #fgw #greaterwest

— Rich (@recklessrik) January 5, 2015

@FGW I get a half hour earlier train, 07.21 from Burnham and I'm still delayed?! Seriously why?!?!? New year, same bad service!

— Julia (@Jufaceyeah) January 5, 2015

New Year, same crap. @FGW 7.30 from Cookham now 15 mins late so will miss connection to Ealing. Welcome back!

— Simon Windsor (@cookhamsimon) January 5, 2015

Today my train fare rose. Today my train hasn't turned up. 👏 @FGW

— Henna (@hennabutt) January 5, 2015

Well, it doesn't look like @FGW's #NewYearsResolution was to run their trains on time! Not the best start to 2015… pic.twitter.com/2E0QfiS2IT

@FGW interesting concept of 'on-time' pic.twitter.com/R9lu8Zmhku

— Steve Ponting (@steven_ponting) January 5, 2015

First Monday in January. So obviously my train is "delayed". Thanks @FGW – back to earth with a bump.

— David Bishop (@davidjbishop) January 5, 2015

@FGW first day back and the usual delays from taplow to pads plus a price hike. Happy new year to you too

— MLou (@Mlou200) January 5, 2015

Love that @FGW train prices go up.. Delays first day back. You guys have nailed it!

— Perry Jansen (@jansen_perry) January 5, 2015

Start as you mean to go on. And for @FGW that means a load of train delays. #ShakesHead #Eyeroll

— Graeme Harrison (@graeme_harrison) January 5, 2015

Price gone up, service still delayed, this is bullshit @fgw

— Alex McDowell (@TheRatboy) January 5, 2015

@FGW @fgwkmc start as we mean to go on…#IncreasedPrices #Thieves #Crooks pic.twitter.com/3xSBBhYD25

"This service is delayed due to a delay." – never change, First Great Western. Wonderful start to the year.

— Mike Denney (@Mike_Denney) January 5, 2015

First train of the commuting year one carriage short and ten mins late. Start as you mean to go on eh @fgw #fgw

— Ian Dash (@b1tm0nkey) January 5, 2015

Another hike in train fares, another morning when my @FGW train was running late. #WhatAmIPayingForAgain

— Laura Poole (@lPooleAtIken) January 5, 2015

@FGW wow. This service has taken 45 minutes almost 50 to reach London Padd. What a crap service #fgw provide.

— Callsuma Ali (@ColeeAli) January 5, 2015

First Great Western PPM for 2015-01-05: 83% (82%). 1522 ran, 1265 ontime, 257 late 77 c/vlate

@FGW Freezing cold waiting room now full of very pissed off commuters. @fgwkmc @CommutingRants

— Victoria Martin (@Engineer_Ria) January 6, 2015

Nice work @FGW. Day 2, 1742 from PAD 3mins late into DID. 1825 connection leaves early. Will be home 25mins late. @fgwkmc @CommutingRants

@fgw Spot the train. #fgw pic.twitter.com/lur6V7bOvJ

Hey @FGW I'm on 3rd delay in as many days from TAU – what's going on?! Fare increase seems silly at times like this. pic.twitter.com/vMqhwzrY5e

— Gemma Edney (@GemmaEdney) January 7, 2015

Every train I've got since @FGW's #fareincrease has been delayed, cancelled, broken or changed. Never with clear communication. Total joke.

— Chris Snow (@wheelychris) January 7, 2015

@FGW Hello! Is there any update into when the 17:55 #train from #Cardiff to #London is scheduled to arrive?

— Matt Davies (@mattlosvert) January 7, 2015

@mattlosvert Hi Matt. There is a delay with the service due to a fault under investigation. Will be around 25 minutes late. Apologies. Grant

— First Great Western (@FGW) January 7, 2015

@fgw Late without having left the station? That's new. (It's not new.) #fgw

— Rich (@recklessrik) January 7, 2015

@FGW Fingers crossed your customers will see improvements soon. Will make your job a lot easier! So far 100% delays in 2015 not a good start

— Simon Windsor (@cookhamsimon) January 7, 2015

@FGW 8.30 BTM to Swindon. Arrived 15 mins late. Not massive, but that's a total of 85mins delay so far this week.

— Finn Kirkland (@afkbristol) January 8, 2015

@FGW 40minutes late

— tracytheyer (@tracytheyer) January 8, 2015

@FGW Hi Grant – the 16:25 Paddington to Oxford is running late yet again unfortunately…

— steve hunt (@stevehunt73) January 8, 2015

@stevehunt73 Apologies for this Steve. The service is following late running services caused by an earlier fault on a train. Grant

— First Great Western (@FGW) January 8, 2015

@fgw going for a perfect start to the year. 8 journeys this week, not one of them has arrived on time.

— Matt Dixon (@the_bald_man) January 8, 2015

@fgw Aaaaand another late. You am de best. 👍👍 #fgw
