OK, so I've heard the following messroom gossip today, not sure how accurate it is, but apparently its come from quite high up.
GWR are looking at reducing a number of 9 car sets to 7 car sets by removing 2 coaches and placing the 2 removed coaches into a number of 5 car sets to make up a fleet of 7 car sets, so overall a reduction in number of 9s and 5s but a creation of 7s.
Now before all the usual people poo poo this, it has apparently come from a pretty decent source, however, we must always take what we hear in the messroom with a pinch of salt....
Anyone able to elaborate?
