More Train Less Strain campaigns for decent rail services in the West Country and the whole of the UK.
We are campaigning for:
- A decent train service with enough carriages so you know you won't be left standing on the platform
- Trains that leave and arrive when they are meant to
- Fares that are fair
Is that too much to ask?

March 2008: The Department for Transport (DfT) has ordered First Great Western to submit a 'Remedial Plan' to explain how it will reduce cancellations. First has agreed to pay £29 million for a package of passenger benefits. However, it's vital that we keep up the pressure for a better service, so if your train service continues to be poor for the price you pay, please continue to complain to Ruth Kelly at the DfT and copy in your MP and your local newspaper.
Fare strike: On Monday 28 January commuters from Oxford, Bath, Frome, Warminster, Oldfield Park, Keynsham, Yate and Yatton took part in a fare strike. The strike was in protest at higher fares, a reduction in the number of carriages and a cut in the number of trains stopping at local stations.
