More Train, Less Strain Campaign
More Train, Less Strain is a passenger led campaign to put pressure on First Great Western to provide more carriages in order to halt the chronic overcrowding on their trains. Overcrowded trains cause misery for thousands of passengers every day in the West, put people off traveling by train and make it difficult at times even impossible, for station and train staff to do their jobs properly.
