I'm still standing...

Continuing the theme of Elton John titles...well if the second one used can be called a theme.

I find myself standing on a regularly overcrowded service from Paddington to home, wondering why it is FGW do not seem to be able to match passenger numbers to the number of carriages needed.

My exasperation is added to by looking into an unused First Class section, I mean on the average cattle truck the only thing differentiating First Class from standard is a door and a bit of cloth on the back of the seat. Couldn't they do away with the frivolity of First Class and give seats to the masses?

Some mornings I catch a 125 to London, which stops at my village. It has 3 carriages of first class, which are often used by 9 or 10 passengers in total. Again a real waste of space. Couldn't some kind of flexibility and common sense be applied, or would FGW rather have those less wealthy commuters (who maybe only pay £5-6000 a year in fares a year )stand for the duration of their journeys.

Come on FGW think about it!
