2. 1Z83 > 1C22 > 2E57
3. 1A75 > 1W02 > 1P65 > 1C95

Well yes that’s the plan, because isn’t that what GWR have explicitly announced?

Don't know as I don't follow GWR much since I've not lived in the West Country since the 2000s but 18 May sadly doesn't allow me time to get down for a final run on one along the wonderful Dawlish sea wall :(

Is there any visibility yet into the earlier diags on Sat 18th May?

I'm hoping to take my HST-loving son on final trips between CHP and BRI on the Sat (PAD is too far), if they're still running. These are listed in SO IW11:
1C16 1330 Paddington - Bristol TM
1A24 1600 Bristol TM - Paddington

Does anyone know whether those are confirmed for HSTs yet on Sat 18th, or of any other confirmed BRI services that day?

Thanks!

Their press release has been linked a few times in this thread, I think it’s pretty much a fixed date now. I’d copied it into post #1125 yesterday.

well you will have Castle HST sets along the sea wall I think, after May 18th, and also XC HST's along there too, at least.

There are some daytime Bristol services on the 18th May, I don’t have the details to hand but I’m sure one of the other guys on here might be able to help.

Yes, booked HST (IW3) and unless a set swap occurs it should be Set OC45 with 43162 & 43172.
Yes, this was all correct, thanks. I had a very enjoyable journey on the 13.03 from Paddington. Used the Pullman dining car. There would have been space to have walked up and dined without pre booking, even with a Std Class ticket, it was about 75% to 80% full.

At the risk of diverting onto a minor related matter ref the seat reservations - Of note was that seats reserved in Coach K (the dining car) were placed out in coach L (the FO) with the original tags that stated K (used the same seat numbers, as the FO was otherwise lightly loaded and I think the seat reservation computer allocated from seat K which of course is no good when in use as a dining car). This caused some minor confusion with passengers boarding but a member of staff was on had to help them find their non dining seat.

It would appear that the 1415 Paddington - Cardiff, 1656 Cardiff - Paddington and 1930 Paddington - Weston SM are an HST set today. I’m fairly sure that’s not booked anymore.

No they certainly are not booked HST.

Today they are booked for HST! For whatever reason IW5 has a FO variation:

1A81 Penznce 07:41 Padton 13:15
1B42 Padton 14:15 CrdfCen 16:22
1L82 CrdfCen 16:56 Padton 19:07
1C28 Padton 19:30 Wsmare 21:53

Would it be possible to advise what sets are working today the 1233 Pad - Tau and 1930 Pad - WSM (Sorry might have posted in wrong forum which I apologise for in advance).

Ah there you go then. Thanks. I thought I’d already had my last go but looks like I’ll get another chance tonight.

1C28 19:30 London Paddington to Weston-Super-Mare should be set OC53 with 43018 & 170

Yes, the HST diagrams will be HST! :rolleyes:

The 5 HST diagrams for 27/04 contain the following services:
1. 1A80 > 1C85
2. 1A83 > 1C87
3. 1A92 > 1C32
4. 1A75 > 1C77 > 1A94 > 1C33
5. 1A04 > 1C76 >1A87 >1C92

So it looks like tomorrow's (sat 27th) HST schedule is on routes to / from London to Plymouth-Penzance - apart from a couple of late evening runs back to Bristol? Assume this is still the case apart from any last minute on the day changes?

Unfortunately IW05 planned schedule is cut short tonight because of a fatality at Swindon this afternoon. Was going to get on 1B42 at Reading but was terminated here and sent back to Paddington. Informed it went as 1630 to Taunton.

1C28 Padton 19:30 Wsmare 21:53

For whatever reason, you ask?! It'd be very boring if we sent out the same diagrams, every week! Unfortunately it hasn't quite gone to plan this evening, but the intention of putting a set on to SPM tonight is to balance the sets and work 1A04 tomorrow.

Thanks very much, wish there was a like button!

Will this be the last HST from Frome?

No, this won't be the last HST from Frome.
