Alistair Darling Gives FGW Official Warning
Press Association 15/02/08:
"Chancellor Alastair Darling told one of the country's least popular rail companies to "get a grip" - or risk putting its franchise in danger.
Mr Darling criticised First Great Western - recently embarrassed by fare strikers handing over home-made tickets - while on a ministerial visit to Bristol.
His words lent support to the campaign group More Train Less Strain, which staged protests against the service, covering large stations like Bristol, last month."
