I agree, just what someone told me unfortunately. Hopefully they do go back into service.

I can’t go into much detail, but Someone has said GWR have said they’re not taking them? All I will say is, I don’t think the source was an official source! I have also seen at least three of them have been parked at Ely Does this suggest at all they will not be going to GWR? Or could they be...

Apparently 175s going to GWR is just a rumour and isn’t happening? So I am being told?

Personally I would say you made the right choice.

Why is Hungerford now only 3 cars?

Not quite correct, Bedwyn and Kintbury can take 4 coaches, Hungerford 6, I think Theale and Thatcham also can take 6, Reading West would certainly cope with 5 or more, not sure about the other stations but thats what it was in HST days if I remember correctly.

We could do with a database or list of stations that used to be request stops? I know a lot of the Cumbrian Coast once was.

How long would a unit potentially last if the C6 exam was done? How long before it would need doing again? Apologies I know literally NOTHING about this sort of thing!

Yep just checked the thread on this, looks like Exeter West crew sign Cardiff.

If theyre running out of Exeter depot how far north would they go? I guess Exeter crew work at least as far as Bristol?

Will there be any chance of them coming to Bristol/Cardiff/Gloucester?

I believe April I am told.

I don’t think the 9s get many customers at night? I am led to believe the 63/64 Stroud services will be extended to tun until about midnight - which serve the Tuffley area.

Sorry I wasn’t referring to Okehampton-Exeter I was referring to Plymouth to Gunnislake.

I agree. Does anyone go to Gunnislake anyway? Can’t imagine those services will do well after Tavistock has reopened.
