FGW, or GWR, it doesn’t really matter! A public transport rose by another name!
Let’s see how Overcrowding looks in 2015!
Happy new year from @FGW – overcrowding on a midday train to London. Worth every penny of that price rise. pic.twitter.com/rWAJNNNxYj

New Year, same old late and overcrowded @fgw trains… @fgwkmc
— Luke McCarthy (@mccarthyluke) January 5, 2015
An in-form start to the new year for @fgw being ten minutes late and full after only two stops out of eleven.
— Jon Donkin (@Jondonkin) January 5, 2015
@FGW And a hat trick in quick succession. Over crowded by the first stop. Dangerously so by the second.

@FGW Cheers for sending 2 coaches to Taplow. It was too full for me to get on. Nice one.
— Jake Holdstock (@JacobRFC) January 5, 2015
@FGW Taplow, 8:18. It's literally delayed me by almost an hour. pic.twitter.com/Ftg5nZkQPg

First train commute of 2015 with @FGW . Fewer carriages, late arriving and overcrowded. That fare increase is clearly worth it!
— Sarah Jones (@jonesy_sa) January 5, 2015
The National Shortage of Rolling Stock, aka Train Faults strikes again!
@FGW I thought the fare rises were to improve services. Battery farmed chickens have more room. Health & Safety??? pic.twitter.com/k1yS132Y5n

I wonder where the extra money @FGW are charging is being spent, because it certainly isn't on carriages! pic.twitter.com/OgWlRK2zlg

@FGW 18.15 Pad to Swan. New year, same overcrowding. #vestibulejenga #standingsardine pic.twitter.com/VJo0YN62FK
— CJ (@C_J_Hartley) January 5, 2015
17.48 from Bristol to Weymouth dangerously overcrowded again. Couldn't even get on it. Absolute joke @FGW
— Tom Johnson (@TomJDigital) January 5, 2015
@TomJDigital Sorry for crowding Tom, train shorter due to earlier train fault. -Ollie
— First Great Western (@FGW) January 5, 2015
Standing room only on the 6am, come on FGW stick another coach or two on
— Tom Greenacre (@TomJGreenacre) January 6, 2015
@FGW had to wait 31mins for my train, going to be late into work and as this pic shows packed like a sardine. pic.twitter.com/gXIhh3EEGh
— Adhip Sherchan (@AdhipSherchan) January 6, 2015
@FGW crowded? didn't even make it onto the train due to the amount of people, with about another 40 people approx still waiting!
— Pritesh Meghani (@PriteshMeghani) January 6, 2015
So this train was busy in 2014 with 3 carriages, @FGW solution for 2015? 1 less carriage and a price increase! #sardines #kerching
— Ricky (@ActualJaguar) January 6, 2015
@ActualJaguar Sorry, this train was shorter due to a fault, apologies for additional crowding this caused. -Ollie
— First Great Western (@FGW) January 6, 2015
Schools back so @FGW 1552 PAD:WOS #SardineExpress back to #fullandstanding conditions. Will we ever get our desperately needed HST back?
— Charles Field (@charles_uk) January 6, 2015
@FGW appalling service as per usual. 2 carriages on one of the busiest commuter routes. Squashed like sardines!
— Rae Luxton (@RaeRaeLux) January 6, 2015
@FGW all we ever get is sorry. Yet the fares have gone up once again. Not good enough
— Rae Luxton (@RaeRaeLux) January 6, 2015
@fgw Hello – 17:30 Filton Abbey Wood to Cardiff short form, only 2 horribly overcrowded coaches, why?
— Garulon (@Garulon) January 6, 2015
@Garulon Sorry for the shorter train and crowding caused. It was due to an earlier train fault. -Ollie
— First Great Western (@FGW) January 6, 2015
Train too full to let anyone on so now have to wait an hour for the next one. Well played @FGW
— Stuart Sellers (@Beeeeg) January 6, 2015
@jldunn2000 @transportgovuk Sorry for the shorter train John, due to an earlier train fault. -Ollie
— First Great Western (@FGW) January 6, 2015
@fgw @transportgovuk 1706 Bristol to Warminster only 2 carriages tonight. Absolutely rammed.
— John Dunn (@jldunn2000) January 6, 2015
Thanks for the standing room only on the 08:02 from MAI this morning @FGW. But I am sure those mythical new carriages will turn up one day.
— Matt Mower (@sandbags) January 7, 2015
@FGW Way hey! #fgw pic.twitter.com/pTbN2MGdXA
— Rich (@recklessrik) January 7, 2015
@FGW Redhill train running 20 mins late, so full people have been left on the platform! If we crash, we're screwed, as exits are blocked…
— DJ Unreal (@DJ_Unreal) January 7, 2015
@Richcropley15 Hi Richard. Sorry, shorter train due to an earlier train fault. -Ollie
— First Great Western (@FGW) January 7, 2015
@FGW are at it again. 17:41 from BTM at Yate saying on info board 3 carriages. Actually it's another lie and only 2 so it's crowded again!!
— Richard Cropley (@Richcropley15) January 7, 2015
How is this acceptable @fgw? There isn't an inch of space on the 6:11 from Oldfield Park towards Bristol. Dangerous! pic.twitter.com/XL4nLVuZ4s
— Kirsty Stewart (@kirstystew) January 7, 2015
New year. Same old gross overcrowding on #FGW 1552 PAD:WOS #SardineExpress. Will @FGW get round to sorting it out this year?
— Charles Field (@charles_uk) January 7, 2015
Why was there a carriage missing from the 7.15 paddington train from reading @fgw? I could not get on. Happy sodding new year.
— Neens (@MsNeensMM) January 8, 2015
@MsNeensMM Hi Neens, sorry about this. There was a fault with the carriage so we weren't able to run it this morning. Jess
— First Great Western (@FGW) January 8, 2015
@7.59 m'head to pad, total of one person in first class and m'head passengers crammed standing in vestibules. Normal service @fgw ?
— Robert Clayton (@Robert_Clayton) January 8, 2015
@FGW I gather. Not a great start to the year for FGW. Passengers unable to board at Theale. pic.twitter.com/OrIMDjPSnY
— James Moran (@jamesdwmoran) January 8, 2015
I can’t even hold on its so rammed @FGW 😡 pic.twitter.com/2CHY3H1bKq
— Natalie (@NatRichy) January 8, 2015
@fgw why do I pay 5,000 pounds a year when I can't even get a seat
— Gary wall (@Garywall877) January 8, 2015
Hmm squashed standing room only on @FGW all 4 princely sum of £20. Luvin the especially heavy breather caressing my neck with his breath yum
— Cats King (@Kinguherr) January 8, 2015
@ChuckWithers Hi Charlie. The service is minus Carriage D due to a fault so it was removed rather than cancelling the service. Apologies. -G
— First Great Western (@FGW) January 8, 2015
@fgw #fgw well done chaps! One of the busiest services out of Paddington, the Frome Flyer, is minus a coach. We are now a zoo.
— Charlie Withers (@ChuckWithers) January 8, 2015
On the way home from Southwark. As usual @FGW are providing a *fabulous* service so am on the floor in cattle class for £££.
— Roxanne Selby (@roxanneselby) January 8, 2015
Happy new year @FGW ! pic.twitter.com/kFm1sdFseN
— Jamie Kilduff (@JamieKilduff1) January 8, 2015
@FGW #fgw I should clearly be extremely grateful. A proper FGW F-up rather than Network Rail for once.
— Charlie Withers (@ChuckWithers) January 8, 2015
@fgw Comfort comes first, right after punctuality, i.e. overcrowded and late again. #fgw #greaterwest pic.twitter.com/BtaXMj4zK8

Yeah super rammed @FGW train as its two carriages instead of three! Lovely & cosy 😀

@fgw 16:49 bristol to Keynsham. Fare up 2.4%. Carridges down 33%. Old man struggling to stand as no seat. Unquantifiable. Unacceptable.
— Mr Pavl (@mr_pavl) January 9, 2015
Two carriages on peak Friday afternoon service from @fgw. Again. Sigh
— Cole Henley (@cole007) January 9, 2015
@cole007 Apologies for this Cole. This is due to a fault with the other two carriages. Sorry for the discomfort this may cause you. Grant
