Air Conditioning – 2015

Another year passes, and perhaps, just perhaps, First Great Western will finally resolve their air conditioning, heating, and cooling issues!

If you’re new to The Great Air Con, there’s a summary of the First Great Western Great Air Con with more information than you could possibly wish for, or go back to 2013 for even more temperature complaints! In summary, those trains with air conditioning pretty much don’t. Those trains without air conditioning, well that’s just tough! There’s no marketing campaign value in giving passengers a reasonably comfortable journey!

Building A #GreaterWest!

Let’s take a look at 2015!

The air conditioning mystery deepens!

@FGW is it possible to turn down the aircon in coach C for the train that is currently stopped at Taunton please

@FGW the 08:13 from Didcot Parkway to Penzance is freezing! Is there something wrong with the heating or is it just not switched on?

— Millie (@maryjayneagain) January 3, 2015

@FGW please could you turn the air con off on the 13:28 to Penzance from paddington, I'm wearing 4 jumpers&jacket! It's January- please!

Once again I paid an extortionate amount to freeze to death on the train. Thanks @FGW

@FGW carriage A, near the doors. There was definitely at least one broken window that wouldn't stay up. The whole carriage was frozen!

High quality service from @FGW on the service to Oxford. Any chance of some heating on the train? #freezing #hatandglovesareon

@fgw 7:02 from Mai rammed again today. Any chance of those re-allocated carriages being added to this train. Also why is heating so high?

@FGW new year new start you would think but no still colder on the train than it is outside!

Note to First Great Western @FGW: you do NOT transport frozen meat so there is no need for full blown AC in middle of winter #coldcarriages

Evening @FGW – thought you should know it's FREEZING on the 2245 from Paddington. A snowman could survive the journey. ⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️

The @FGW train to paddington is freezing!! I'm sat here shivering like a maniac counting down the minutes until we arrive in London #cold

@FGW could the driver on the henley train at 18:12 please turn the air con on. The train is stifling hot and even windows are steamy –

@fgw can we get the aircon turned on in the 7:34 Didcot to Paddington? Its boiling and I didn't pack my shorts and sandals! ☀️

— Edward Johnson (@EdzJohnson) January 12, 2015

@FGW – Again the 7:34 (Did-Pad) is boiling. No sign of the guard. Any chance you could make contact and request they cool it down?
