This is my sixth video from my History of Railway Franchises series. Enjoy :) Instagram: NetworkNathan Music credit: Happy days • (Free) Lofi Hip Hop Ty...
With Great Western Railway. There has been threats to split into halves. With most of the GWR trains operating in Bristol, Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire to be operated by different train operators (except West Midlands Railway which operates their own services). And GWR to continue operating between London Paddington-Cardiff Central, Swansea, Didcot Parkway, Oxford, Reading and Bristol Parkway. And GWR could lose the West Ealing-Greenford line to TfL (London Overground).
At present 💝 in December 2023, it’s called GWR - Great Western Railway 🚃. The trains 🚂 🚊 🚆 are coloured dark green. It’s nice 👌 and warm inside the trains 🚆.It’s complicated to say why train 🚊 companies change. GWR - Great Western Railway 🚃 runs its services everyday and public holidays except Christmas 🎄 🤶 🧑🎄 🎅 Day and Boxing 🥊 Day. 👍
You done a cracking job of explaining a very complicated franchise. Keep up the good work. I predict GWR & Chiltern will be combined into a single franchise when all the COVID nonsense has finished.
You’re a great presenter. Thank you.
Another great and informative video, keep up the good work!
2:48 Arriva Great Western? That would've been... something!

East Anglia franchise you mean but yes.
