We ask First Great Western to reinstate previous procedure on the Cotswold Line, whereby the standard class carriages of High Speed Trains were stopped on the platform at short-platform stations. The new procedure, in which the front end is on the platform, causes delays, disturbs passengers already on the train, and limits cycle transport.

    • This new procedure will only make the trains even later than they already are and generally annoy both passengers already on the train, plus those trying to board.

    • In a long history of bonkers decision on this line, channelling a hundred of us through two doors has to be the bonkersest. And the most dangerous. . Someone WILL get hurt as a result of this insanity

    • This is a prime example of FGW's decision makers not putting themselves in the place of the passenger. Instead of improving the service, FGW, you have caused further inconvenience and yet more delay. Please take urgent steps to remedy this ridiculous situation.

    • I can see the logic of not opening doors that are not actually alongside the platform, but this particular arrangement is riduculous and needs reconsidering.

    • The train staff seem to be unable to assess the platform length and open the right number of doors. What a nonsense

    • What is the point of encouraging us out of our cars, when you then make it more difficult to get on the damn trains and next to impossible to take a bike on one?
