Ah spot on, thanks!

Went past the SVR the other day and they seem to almost have a full rake of the mk3s! Does anyone have any details of their purpose there? Just storage or?

Remember having a ride on one to London in summer '03 from Cheltenham! They were semi-regular operators on the line

Nowhere seems to have a list of all the current EMR HST diagrams, perhaps a list here to be updated with the times would be grand? Tried searching, couldn't find one, mods, if one does exist, feel free to get rid of this one and point me in the right direction!

Still in Stafford as of this morning!

Gotcha, just seemed most were starting to get a bit heated that 5s would be doing the golden valley and as a result, would be leaking passengers they would be that busy!

It's not that Cheltenham is losing all its nine cars, more that there is literally no reason to run hourly nine cars all the way through the day. In the off peak times, they'll be fives, they'll still continue to be 9s or even 10s in the peaks and on the shoulders of the peaks.

Was there any confirmation for GTi Gloucester services? Noticed some stopping boards up for HST 2+4 on Sunday!

800008 now with "trainbow" decals

I've noticed some chords off the electrification section bit get some the poles(? Vertical bits of the Gantry) in place for electrification (e.g leaving BPW to Yate, the poles go on for some while), why is this? As BPW-Yate is getting no electrification, why the need (among other places)?

I assume inherit some gWr stock for it? Or Bimodes?

I remember seeing a single 153 working that line for years, just after the franchise change to fgw!

Nothing says brand confidence like "we THINK we're OK with it"

Not completely down to that; the Low cost carrier and cheaper package holidays meant, and still means, more people traveling abroad for their summer jollies.

Cheers, managed to bag a ride on it today!

Is the 1340 ex Liverpool street still planned as 345?

Sort out a separate "Gloucester only" service, or to do with platforms etc?

Cheltenham will always be (should always be) 2x5 car (10 coaches) or 1x9 car (9 coaches) as far as I'm aware has been reported elsehere

Reed and Belvita have used them recently as well...
