From today's Oxford Mail
And indeed this was so. I think it was 180103 (although it didn't appear to have any numbers on the front of the train), at least on the later of these two services.
Does anyone know if these workings are to be maintained on a daily basis? I guess the other units will be brought into service soon? (180106 has been about on test on the line on a very regular basis in recent weeks)
My first time on an Adelante, and what a lovely train.
"And a Class 180 Adelante train operated a First Great Western passenger service for the first time in more than three years this morning.
After two months of crew training trips, an Adelante worked the 11.20am service from London to Great Malvern, via Oxford and the Cotswold Line. It was also due to work the 5.18pm semi-fast service from London to Oxford, serving Cholsey, Didcot Parkway and Radley.
Five Adelante trains are being brought back into use by FGW over the next two months to ease overcrowding, due to growing passenger traffic."
