The WORST new train launch? | The History of Great Western Railway | Western Operators #4 - GWR

Hello & welcome to the fourth and final episode of my Western rail operators mini-series where I look at the operators of Western England. Today I will be looking at Great Western Railway from its rebrand in 2015 and ask the question of whether or not they have been a successful operator up until now!
