There were no seats left so I had to sit on my 2 bags of luggage (squashing my advent calender in the process) in the corridor with 3 other students and a very annoyed looking man in a suit. Every time the train pulled into the station we all had to get up and move so people could get on and every time the food guy came through with his trolley we had to suck our tummies in against the wall.<br />By the time we got to Bristol I was squashed against the door. Thankfully a very nice young chap got off the train first so he could unload my bags for me. It was hell and I am so getting the Megabus this year.<br />AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON PEOPLE THAT DON'T CHECK SEAT RESERVATIONS.Cathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380215136543211908.post-48426117198166221772013-08-05T03:28:15.730-07:002013-08-05T03:28:15.730-07:00Just saw this in the Herald website.

I've never...That sounds absolutely disgraceful. I've never personally been that mistreated on a First Great Western train but I have always experienced over crowding and baggage in the gangway. I don't fully understand why more tickets are sold than a train can accommodate.<br /><br />I hope you get an appropriate response soon :)Chantellenoreply@blogger.com
