Seen it a few times now with GWR sending a pair of 166s on the Paignton to London Paddington run. The other month was a surprise when a 150 found itself working the Bristol - Weymouth run for the first time in years. Also at one point had a redundant full length HST set working the Bristol...

They certainly have the advantage of not being riddled with Asbestos

I do wonder if it isn't helped by the service levels now. 3tph to Manchester isn't quite so bad but 1tph to Liverpool, and 1tph to Glasgow really doesn't seem to cut it anymore. I've travelled at what should be quiet times of the day and in the middle of the week, only to have the carriages...

Anyone know what’s running 2W25 Stalybridge to Southport?

I’m mostly waiting to see what will be running from Christmas through to the end of January during the Westbury South blockade…

What’s working 6C42 out of Westbury tonight? Something sounds pretty good on it but didn’t catch the loco

Possibly a stupid question- why bother spending the time to de-brand something that is literally just going to be torn to shreds and melted down in weeks to come?

Personally what I would like to see for the WCML is a 319. Could be a good addition which would also work on some Northern routes!

I find with SeatFrog it's definitely worth the money. Did the HST Plymouth - Glasgow run last year for an extra £20, got lucky with the catering so I had as many bacon rolls, sandwiches and cups of tea as I could eat! Far better value for money than what GWR provide at least...

Ah, I see what you mean now. Managed to get it thank you!

Still not showing yet for me!

Yes, that is the issue. I click via Hereford and it says no fares available. I can’t use any other retailer as RSTOnline is the only way I get my priv rates.

I am planning to travel to Manchester on Friday (19th) and come back on the Monday (22nd) from Westbury. I want to do this via TfW to use their LCHS however the RSTOnline website is no longer saying fares are available to Crewe via Hereford, which is how I split the tickets last time (February)...

My issue with the 80x seats are that they seem to be way too vertical, and with the rock solid seat back there is no way to get comfortable. I did a three hour round trip on one before a work shift once and I was unable to carry out my job properly as my back was in agony! I can sit in an IC70...

If it's true that it was doing 90mph I am incredibly impressed at how well the outcome has been. Pure luck or is it testament to the design of the Desiros?

I'd assume for the Northern 769s.

I often find 1J93 ex Paddington is often one of the first to be cancelled with staff shortages or other disruption.

This might be wrong, but I heard they stopped running on the fasts because too many people were using the platforms to end their lives at Slough station. It is a big help though IMO for pathing- I often found the fasts from the B&H when running late would get stuck behind a Slough stopper and...

How on earth did someone, somewhere, deem any stock whatsoever surplus for GWR? They need all the stock they can get!

I've been having trouble on the MML route on TSW4, I can't for the life of me get the 158 to move in the training centre no matter what I do. Anybody else have this issue?
