Although previous major works along the GWML saw HSTs running in and out of Marylebone and Waterloo, is anyone able to answer whether Hitachi/GWR have tested the 800s along those corridors if more future major revamps or extensive overhauling work is done. Would be interesting to them at either...

Just seen the Grand Central MK4 coaches and DVTs pacing past my house. Anyone know why they’re heading down to Eastleigh?

I think Hitachi need to ideally come up with modifying a middle carriage to similarly set up a typical 9 car train to match the HST layout. Standard class customers would then not need to venture into First class to go to the buffet regardless if GWR get buffets. Then using this design, split...

It stuck out like a sore thumb, the 2 carriage train was stable at the Up Goods line adjacent to the London bound platform. Does anyone know of the movements being made with this train?

Anyone able to provide diagrams for the HSTs, in particular to Sheffield? Due to head up north start of May so ideally I want to catch an HST :D

Are there going to be significant changes? Especially with the planned introduction of the 387s with Greenford train probably starting shuttles by May from West Ealing? Also is there any document or link for the confirmed May timetable?

This lingers on my brain a bit waiting for my train in the mornings but just curious and thought I'd share. Would there ever be a possibility tfor a direct link for passengers travelling between Windsor and Eton Central and Paddington? Possibly sticking in paths if possible as a replacement to...

Anyone able to shed some light as to why they were unable to have the 180 operating on the 15.22 London Paddington to Great Malvern? Given that they have that many carriages to cope with the number of passengers travelling on the service, it would have made sense to chuck in two more coaches...

I was looking onto RTT and what is proposed seems a bit farfetched so please justify if I mention something wrong: - Marylebone Diversion: forms a regular Swansea service which goes all the way to Banbury which then reverse down to Oxford. If the line between Bicester and Oxford via Oxford...

Just out of interest, I passed Doncaster a shortwhile ago and noticed 3 ex Gatwick express class 460 DVTs. Does anyone know what's being done with these at the moment?

I am going to be travelling around over the next few weeks and it is essential as part of my role to keep on top of my job whilst travelling although I will be travelling evening times after 5pm but I wish to know the following from users using XC, WCML and ECML routes: GWML - Next week...

Food for thought, given that the 444s would need a pantograph to run from somewhere like Manchester to Glasgow; what other mods would be needed? Travelling on the Windsor Waterloo route today and they seem as if they would be decent for a long run as mentioned!

Just got off the 16.49 to Oxford from Paddington at Slough, has had to terminate here. Driver's windscreen smashed. Anyone got any news on how this happened and if the driver is ok?

Does anyone know what work is being done at Acton Goods Yard? A tunnel? Same with just west of Hayes & Harlington Station

Ok so I just read on my town's online newspaper that the title of this thread is what is being sought based on the HS2 fiasco and moving it to Langley (station just before Slough from Paddington). My guess is that the reason for HS2 to get the depot relocated is so a station can be placed...

I know they both share the same engine spec and everything but just intriguied to know what everyone's views are. I personally prefer the adelante. It doesn't offer the same comfort as the HSTs but I reckon they would do a better job then the Voyagers on a long distance trek. There certainly...

I was coming out of Paddington on the 1657 to Reading and as I was going past OOC, I saw a HST attached to another next to the Relief line (Carriage line). Can't seem to find anything on Realtimetrains, anyone know how this rarity came about!?!?! :D
