Are the other diagrams still as planned?
Is the IET that should have formed 1c04 out to play at all on another diagram?I have seen nothing reported to the contrary (yet).

1L28 and 1L40, the 07:02 and 08:37 Worcester Shrub Hill to London Paddington (via Cheltenham) services were both showing as 9 coaches (Class 800/3) on passenger information systems. 1L40 is usually a HST (I do not recall another instance of it being an 800).
Thanks..looks like i will be riding 005 and 012 later today as planned
Any idea if 1L85 is going to be an HST or IET today?
I am travelling on 1c89 on 6th December, how likely is this to be an 802? Thanks.
Is there any information as to whether either one of those sets 005 or 012 was down on power or had an engine out?005/012 allocated to the IW951/966 turns.

It was definitely not performing as well as sets 015 and 009 later in the day.
012 had a GU shut down from SWI-BPW on 1B59, no other reason that could be unit related. Restarted at BPW.Is there any information as to whether either one of those sets 005 or 012 was down on power or had an engine out?

Thanks for that. I was aboard the 14.00 BTM-PAD and it definitely was significantly slower accelerating in diesel mode on all three sections to Swindon compared to 009 and 015 on the 1830 BTM-PAD I can't believe the driver was only using 75 to 80% power.012 had a GU shut down from SWI-BPW on 1B59, no other reason that could be unit related. Restarted at BPW.
I think the problem will shift soon exclusively to the Plymouth route as more 9 cars come on stream (after all the 9 car 802s are essentially for use on the Swansea bristol and Oxford routes) and it'll only be a problem of short forms on the west's true intercity route. But then people down here complain less so it's probably seen as the lesser of two evils. Whoever specified so many 5 car units should be held accountable.Many services only 5 vice 10 car today, including the 0515 Bristol to Paddington via Newbury (1K71), 0648 Weston-super-Mare to Paddington (1A07) (in which SEVEN people on board complained on Twitter), 0712 Taunton to Paddington (1A09), 1445 Paddington to Swansea (1B46) as well as the infamous 0730 Cardiff to Portsmouth (1F05) which was just a single 158, and the 0629 Swansea to Paddington (1L24) cancelled throughout. Oh, and the Bath Christmas markets.
When will it stop?
Hi, do we know if this has happened yet? If so, which diagram?First IET on off peak Padd - Bedwyn fast services should be in service next week.
