I found a previous thread on named trains. However the thread is now closed, and doesn't answer my question specifically.
What I am wondering is, regarding GWR (previously FGW) named trains such as the Cornishman and the Royal Duchy. It looks from the timetable like the xx xx (insert time) train from Paddington seems to form that particular named train every weekday.
So at the same time each weekday, the Cornishman turns up at at Austell, Truro etc and Penzance.
But my question is: is the HST set itself called 'the Cornishman'? Or whever the named working is for that train? Does it have the name plate the Cornishman?
Same with the Royal Duchy diagram. Is the HST set itself named the Royal Duchy and does it have the name plate?
If so that must be pretty hard to diagram as you'd need to make sure that exact set was always on that exact diagram for it to work wouldn't you?
