West rail franchise extended
First Great Western will continue to operate trains between London and the South West until September 2015, after their franchise was extended.
Train company's contract expected to be extended
It's expected that train passengers in the region will hear tomorrow that First Great Western's contract has been extended for a further two years.
The Government has been forced to extend it after the last round of franchise negotiations collapsed in chaos.
But there are worries that services may be reduced, and there'll be further delays to much needed investment.
