First Great Western "Not Fit For Purpose"
Cornish Liberal Democrat MPs participated today (24th January) in a debate on the First Great Western's dire performance. During the debate it became clear that problems exist in every area of its franchise and with every aspect of its service. All the MPs indicated that they had received huge numbers of complaints from the travelling public, covering the inadequate and perverse timetable, the collapse in reliability and productivity, enormous fare increases and the declining standard of rolling stock. This culminated in the recent action to withdraw carriages from Cornwall to address chaos in Bristol leaving Cornish travellers with only a bus service.

Polls brand Bush as worst US president
George Bush faced his toughest test yet when he gave the State of the Union address- as the most unpopular US leader in history. Bush's approval ratings were the lowest for any president the day before a State of the Union speech since Richard Nixon in 1974. In the most damning survey, 65 per cent said they disapprove of how he handles his job as president. And 71 per cent of Americans said the country is on the wrong track. Many polled in a Washington Post/ABC survey also admitted they don't approve of Bush's policies on the Iraq war, terrorism or the economy.
