FIRST Great Western's parent company says the package of improvements it plans for the new Thames Trains Franchise will have knock-on benefits for South West customers.
FirstGroup has been selected as preferred bidder for the franchise, which covers the Thames Valley, and will run the services from April.
The aim is to improve punctuality and customer service for Thames Trains and First Great Western customers.
Chief executive Moir Lockhead said: "I am confident we can provide an improved service."
