 First Great Western has promised that services will improve |
Rail passenger are threatening to protest against First Great Western's new train timetable. Many have complained that since it was introduced on Monday, services have been late, cancelled or overcrowded because of a shortage of rolling stock.
The train operator admitted there were problems but claimed services would improve over the coming days.
On 22 January, a protest saw some 2,000 commuters refusing to pay fares on services between Bristol and Bath.
Simon Carpenter, from the group More Train, Less Strain, said: "I think we're looking at another protest.
"That seems to be the only way First Great Western actually listens to us.
"Not only have we had problems with the timetable changes, we've still got the overcrowded trains and we're not looking forward to a fare rise in the new year."
