What's the story morning glory?

Sang Oasis more than a few years ago. Well I could well ask What's the story FGW?

Tonight when I arrived at Paddington there were a plethora of delayed trains, and when I asked this was due to a faulty train in the Reading area. Once I boarded the 1833 Exeter service so I would at least get to Reading the defective train reason remained. However once I get to Reading the delays are all due to inclement weather conditions.

What you and I would actually describe as a normal rainy Autumnal day. It's hardly Hurricane Sandy out there (says I sheltering in the footbridge rather than standing in the shelter free Platform 10 for 30 mins.) it's not even heavy rain, just your average rainy day. What's so astonishingly inclement about that? And where has the defective train gone? Did it ever exist? Will I ever get an accurate answer from FGW?

I do actually know the answer, it's just FGW are not going to say "We apologise for the delays to your services this evening, this is due to the fact we are not renewing the franchise and couldn't give a flying fig about you lot, just keep buying the tickets as we are happy to fleece you whilst not delivering a decent service." Actually the apologies all seem a bit hollow. They really don't care. Good job the government are reviewing the North Western Mainline services decision as First Group would only balls that up too.

Cynical, maybe....accurate.....probably.
