Great Western HST diagrams

Just wondering which services the HST's are used on as I'm planning to do some mileage on this line (London - Exeter) for the first time!

Would much prefer a HST to get some window action.

Ta.

To be honest it's a wing it on the day at the moment, but pretty much all should be HSTs.

Usually HST, occasionally Adelante.

Also turbo's on some routes.

If I were you, I'd wait 'til Summer, and consider booking to Penzance, as the best scenery is after Exeter, you can get AP fares all the way to PNZ for barely any more than the cost to Exeter.

I'd stop short at Plymouth. Anywhere beyond Newton Abbot takes hours to get to and is seemingly dull. Sure the Royal Albert bridge is nice but there really is nothing to do at Penzance!

Do the Sea wall is my reccomendation.

exeter - plymouth best part.

Turbo's don't go further than Bedwyn/Newbury depending on what day..

 

[devon_metro]

They go to Bedwyn every day

Sea Wall would also be my recommendation, i did it in the summer, warm, sunny doing heads out behind a Valenta [non left now of course] with lots of people looking at you so you can flail

Don't think you will be haviong a screaming FGW Valenta down the wall this summer, flailing, no need, only for tractors :-P

Unfortuneatly I have to stop at Exeter.
I was just wondering which services the HST runs out of PAddington as I don't want to end up on a stoooopid Adelante! :razz:

When is it you're going? The 180s should all be out of service in around 3 months time.

Febuary.

ON the 13:05. Hopefully a HST! :grin:

 

[devon_metro]

Booked HST anyway.

 

[Techniquest]

The xx:05 services from London to Exeter are all booked HST. What they are coming back I'm not sure.
