Thanks but no need to rush. Not that important in the overall scheme is it...I will look into it.

Will these be used on the Swindon to Cheltenham Spa services? If so will they replace the 150 and 158 (rented from SWR)?
I'm told one diagram has been a 166 today, but not the SWR 158 one.
Is this now a booked diagram or was it swapped because of the effect from the crew shortages?2B36 0831 Cheltenham Spa to Swindon was a Turbo today.

I don't know - I'm only reporting what I saw.
Seen there has been a STP move to Reading this evening. Are they sending some Turbos to run some Electrostars for a few days?
That's what it is. Are Reading still maintaining the the 166's for now?Move in each direction, just changing over units.

More prep work needed then before transferring maintenance responsibilities to St Phillip's MarshI don't think the final allocations have been made yet. The moves today were cancelled in the end

Where are the 166s now, how many at Bristol / left at Reading. I thought 7 were to stay at Reading until 15th, then just 5?
What happened to the 4 x 2-car 165 moves west?
Confused at present - which are the 165/66s allocated to PM and have they replaced any 150s to Exeter yet?
Thank you

No not all of the GWR DMUs painted in the green GWR livery have been refurbished with a GWR interior. The three car which has begun to be used on the Swindon to Cheltenham probably won't have as only one off the 166 Turbos (166205) has been done.Have the gWr green units been refurbished internally? If so what are they like inside?
I am referring to the three carriage units that have replaced the 150's on the Cheltenham - Swindon services.
Saw a blue 166 leaving Gatwick todayI don't think the final allocations have been made yet. The moves today were cancelled in the end
There are still a few 166's at Reading Traincare but majority of the fleet has moved over to St Phillips Marsh. All 165's to remain at Reading Traincare for a few months yet.Saw a blue 166 leaving Gatwick today
