A campaign to cut over-crowding has been launched by frustrated rail commuters in the west of England. The More Train, Less Strain group wants First Great Western to provide more trains on its routes.
The train company recently took over the Wessex Trains franchise and re-vamped its timetable, leading to complaints from many passengers.
It said it is now reviewing the timetable, and monitoring the situation.
Simon Carpenter, Frome resident and campaign co-ordinator, said: "The overcrowding of trains is scandalous.
"It is becoming increasingly common place for passengers to be left standing at stations because trains are already at bursting point."
