2 800s: Cheltenham to Paddington and return. Same Train Manager based at Reading both ways ironically.
Both had working reservations.
The one from Cheltenham has it displaying the information internally and externally however their were no announcements, nor did the TM make many announcements about platform lengths causing issues at Stonehouse, Stroud and Kemble. Increased dwell time at stations between Swindon and Paddington on the way back however not outbound, I believe we were on diesel when I looked at Paddington. Only one host on the way back so he had to deal with First Class and then go and do the Standard trolley (nine car formation)
I still have no issues with the trains.. And why people still go on about the seats is beyond me..
