Afternoon all, any idea yet what services through Melksham on the 4th and 6th May are HST's as they're diverting through there? Many thanks in advance.
The seats don't match well, but reservations can and should be placed. Reservations for E should be placed in coach L. First Class reservations for E on a 9-coach 800 should be placed in Coach L. The HSTs were relettered in December 2018 to make the reservations work, to an extent, for this interim period.Nope the services booked for 9 cars, have reservations for 9 cars.
I don't see how IET reservations can be put out on HSTs as there are much less table seats on HSTs, and they have a buffet, so reservations in K wouldn't be put out
How many full HST sets are there remaining with GWR (not including the 2+4 sets)?

Tangentially is putting it mildly. If someone doesn't understand their seat reservation, then asking the TOC is a rather obvious thing to do about it, as opposed to expecting an answer here.
It looks like the reservation system thinks a 2x5 IET is allocated to the 18.22 to Hereford...
That people don't seem to wish to take the obvious step and ask GWR in the first place - or accept that is the case - perhaps?
All my 'answer' did was muddy the waters further, given that 2x5 IET formations are not currently allowed in passenger service on the Cotswold Line due to the platform extensions still not being operational - presumably this requires yet another IET software update - which takes us back to ringing up GWR, so they can address the issue for Essexman direct.
Are diagrams next weekend (27/28 April) expected to be as per the ones in the Frequently requested diagrams thread, or will there be alterations?
Ok. Cheers.There will be alterations - I suspect only a handful (about 4 or 5 I suspect) of those listed will run which mirrors the weekday situation. Keep an eye on this thread as someone will no doubt post what the plan for this weekend will be in due course.
Completely contradicting their own press release (as posted earlier) then:I have contacted GWR to ask about the 18th May and they replied saying only the 18:30 to Taunton/Exeter is booked for a HST and the other 3 services will be IET operated.
are the diagrams over the weekend of 11th and 12th of May subject to any change at all due to engineering works? or is it a case of wait until closer to time and find out? (wanting to save money and book advance tickets for a couple of moves)
thanks in advance

Possibly. As is regularly seen across a whole range of subjects, TOC social media teams are pretty useless for this sort of question...Perhaps the person who answered my email just thought it is booked for an IET as that it what it is usually booked for.

2. 1A83 > 1C87
3. 1A92 > 1C32
4. 1A75 > 1C77 > 1A94 > 1C33
5. 1A04 > 1C76 >1A87 >1C92
Just had a look, and that diagram was 43187/194 today so I assume it should be an HST tomorrowHi - is anyone able to confirm if the 13.03 from Paddington to Plymouth tommorrow (weds 24th april) will be an HST as per the ever useful diagram info?
