The new company will be named "First Great Western" so may as well add the Greater Western section here.


Accidents

I've removed the seperate accidents section. No other TOC article has one (GNER, WAGN) so for consistancy I've taken it out. --Enotayokel 16:44, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Things the article requires

  • Wikiable Photo of one of the MTU Powercars and/or a Mark 3 in current livery in the latest livery
  • Wikiable Photo of Great Western Merlin/Roadrunner livery and of 'Fag Packet' (possibly the sleeper)
  • References
  • The history of the franchise being put into chronological order
  • Photos of each type of stock operated, with a bit about what FGW use them for

More to come (this is partially my todo list, though any help would be apreciated feel free to ignore too) --Enotayokel 18:43, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"not all used"

Can someone clarify what we mean when we say that not all coaches on a HST are "used"? They can't usually divide, and I've not seen a FGW HST run with only seven cars for quite a while. Last time I was on a late-night service (depart Cardiff 0128, arrive Swansea 0221) none of the train was off-limits (first class was empty, but I just assume the lack of any first-class ticket holders at that time). I'm not entirely sure that the guard office in the power cars not having been used for years (if ever) counts as a coach not in use. 81.104.170.167 21:34, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Performance section

This section is very biased and surely forms no part of a factual entry on Wikipedia. I suggest it is removed or heavily edited.
