The Government is driving us mad. The increased cost of season tickets from January 2010 will force many commuters to drive to work (Rail users to face fare rise in 2010, Evening Post, November 17). This will give drivers hours to ponder the wanton waste of our suburban rail network.

Israel is a real problem

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:00:00 GMT

First Great Western - a complaint

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I am writing to complain about the 8.16 First Great Western service from Yate to Bristol Parkway on which I had the misfortune to travel this morning.

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 07:00:00 GMT
