First Great Western Franchise

My hon. Friend has been very generous with interventions. He mentioned the Severn Beach line and, earlier, interconnectivity with mainline services. I would dearly like to use the Severn Beach line to make my journey from Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington. Frequently I cannot, however, because the service ends at Temple Meads, giving passengers three minutes flat to get from one end of the station to the other in order to get the London service. I am sure that the hon. Member for Bristol, North-West (Dr. Naysmith) will empathise with the fact that for many people who would like to make the through journey, the constraints of the timetable make it impossible.
