    Hi Folks! What are these weird panels (pictured) I see below platform level at every station? Are they something to do with gradient? Cheers in advance!

    HST drivers - what are these?

    What an excellent answer, thank you very much for the detail! I quite often see the DAS system switched off, I’d imagine it’s no substitute for years of one’s experience! Thank you mate

    HST drivers - what are these?

    Cheers mate, that would make sense. I saw them briefly before and the labelling would suggest that, thanks!

    HST drivers - what are these?

    Hi guys, Couple of technical questions about the HST control desk (mainly ‘what does that do?’ type questions!) Referring to the picture, there are a set of buttons under the speedo in the middle, a blue, white and red set of buttons. A couple are covered by a safety cover, what are these...

    T Key sockets on Class 166

    Hi guys, Small technical question - I’ve noticed that on the 166s (and I believe the 387s) there is a small socket for a T key next to the exhaust stack on the outside between the carriages. What is this used for? Many thanks in advance!

    ‘RHM’ meaning

    Hi all, Quite a quick question - I saw a 166 stopped at Weston. Just underneath the driver’s windscreen there is a yellow triangle with ‘RHM’ written on it. I tried to look at other posts but nothing explains what it means. What does RHM stand for/mean please? Thank you! :)

    GWR Customer Host assessment day?!

    You’re absolutely welcome! I’m really glad it helped and you got far in the process. It sounds very encourgaing to me! It may take a while for them to get back to you so keep your phone and email handy, and hopefully see you on the trains some time soon. Fingers crossed for you :)
