Bristol Rob Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 8 minutes ago, Shauntaylor85 said: I would change plan and drive. Plenty of places in Essex to park and get fast trains in to Stratford. Don’t rely on GWR, they are chaotic. Isn't the problem with a Network Rail controlled part of the infrastructure rather than a GWR issue?

DaveF Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 1 hour ago, Shauntaylor85 said: GWR are terrible these days. I have this issue most weeks, thankfully today is a home game for me. Imagine doing what you are doing every week for a home game for 20 odd years….then you may realise why I’m a moaner! It hurts more! Yeah I commute into Paddington weekly from Bath and more often than not there seems to be issues... really needs sorting, such an expensive, poor service. Good luck to everyone travelling, hopefully you aren't too delayed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolisredd Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 should have travelled last night like I did - people knew the trains were going to be a problem today. I have no sympathy 2 1 1 1 1 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-67905475.amp Looks like the Elizabeth line is affected as well according to the updated info above. Might have to get in the car instead. 1 minute ago, Bristolisredd said: should have travelled last night like I did - people knew the trains were going to be a problem today.

I have no sympathy Classy. Seeing as GWR themselves said yesterday they would running. No need for those sort of comments to fellow supporters. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but why let that get in the way of a moan? Though we should probably be grateful that he hasn't blamed it on Brian Tinnion and Scott Murray.

redrob Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 (edited) Edit Scrap this.... LIZZY LINE ALSO AFFECTED. DRIVE to the Essex side and get the LIZZY line into Stratford from there. If you can get to reading (or by car somewhere before Paddington) you can get the Elizabeth line to Stratford (look for a train to Shenfield rather than Abbey Wood).

Red Exile Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 On a 4 car train that the train manager assured me is running through to Paddington. Boarded at Didcot. Just left Reading. Despite the GWR advice being that nothing is running on this line. Not many other trains around though! Years of commuting on this route have left me sceptical about announcements. Good luck to those stuck elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no sympathy What a truly pathetic comment. Some people don’t have the money or time for that option. I came up last night because I was dropping my daughter back at Uni but don’t see any need to be smug about it, just fortunate that I can do so. Unnecessary & mean spirited. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 My train is still on time with 3 major hold ups ahead but the train manager is expecting all 3 to be sorted before we get to them, I am on quite a late train compared to others but the first out of my town Just got to hope traffic not held up too much in front of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
