00:00I got a train from London the other day, bang on time, I went to see some family in Swindon,
00:07I got the train from Temple Meads to Swindon, bang on time, no issues at all.
00:10I use rail a lot, because I'm over the age, so I've got a cheap rail ticket, I'm very
00:16pleased, especially GWR, I'm a big fan of GWR, which is our local railway, cancellations
00:22yeah well you can claim compensation, obviously it's always a nuisance, but if you're my age
00:28and you don't drive because of disabilities, you kind of rely on public transport.
00:33Yeah I don't think trains are as bad in the West Country as they are in some parts of
00:38the country, but it's not a brilliant service, it's expensive and sometimes hard to rely
00:43on the trains to get around, whether that's going long journeys like to London or short
00:47suburban journeys.
00:48I think they need to put much later trains on to the likes of Swindon and Bath and places
00:53like that.
00:54The last time I got a train out of Bristol I think the other day was about 10 o'clock
00:57on a Saturday night, I mean that's madness.
