Great Western Railway (GWR), colloquially known as the "Great Will-It-Turn-Up Railway", is an incredibly Expensive, unreliable railway service with expertise in the Delay and Cancellation of trains. They excel in turning Train travel into Passenger Misery and were voted #1 in this category by our author.
Like a lot of public transport in the UK, they're part of the First Group, who you know are as cheap as possible since they're from Aberdeen.
Particularly known for it's corporate slogan "The next stop is Swindon." which always elicits a positive and pleasant reaction from riders due to the fact that it is not Slough.
