Great Western Railway Gloucester London recent customer reviews

This is the second time where I have been stuck in the freezing cold, as train companies don’t update there sites, last time I had to pay for a hotel as well to my expense, we was meant to of arrived in London at 9.59am we arrived at gone midday! & not a straight run, we had to change trains & never had a seat standing room only, which I booked for myself & a friend paying nearly £120 pound & then I brought another ticket for another friend, we could not see or do what we had intended to do in London as we never ended up with enough time!
