And 2x802 on 1C04, 07.30 Padd-Penzance this morning. Looks like the rundown of HSTs on West of England services has begun.

No's 006 & 007 i assume ?
So it is. I have just realised that the 800/802's now cover all of the GWR network in passenger service. (This excludes Newquay and Pembroke Dock extensions). I know Hereford doesn't have any 800's at the moment.The end is nigh...

More class 800 short forms today - I've just witnessed about 50 people unable to join an already packed 5 car unit (should have been a 10 car) at a GWR station. Is there any end in sight to this?
When all the 800s are delivered
Will they continue to be 9 or 10 cars throughout to Penzance until the new timetable is implemented, whenever that is?By October the majority of services from London to Cornwall will be Class 802’s if everything goes to plan.

Oh I didn't know that they were running through at weekends. Sort of lost track on what is happening in that area.Hereford does! Most of the weekend diagrams are 800s

Hopefully a couple of HST diagrams will remain until final elimination to retain crew knowledge.Most service to Penzance will be 2 x 5 car class 802 throughout.
I'm booked on the 1045 Paddington to Swansea on Wednesday.
Is this diagram now operated by the 800 class - RTT shows it as an HST but I found this diagram for the 800s earlier in the thread.

I hoped it would be.
All I have to do now is find the restaurant end of the 800 in Paddington - I am assuming the early crew from Swansea (Eddy and his team) will work IB25 back to Swansea and serve brunch on the way.
Thanks JN14 Top Man - thats really useful info.Can confirm it is (booked) a 10 car IET Wednesday.
Pullman is usually done in the London end set from observation; but I must confess I can’t find any official paperwork to confirm either way.

March apparently, but I think it'll be sooner then thatWhen will HST be history on GWR aside castle sets ?
