158950 recently re liveried into GWR Green has been re liveried again but unfortunately with graffiti. May be difficult to remove depending on the solution used.

It has been reported on another forum that the paint has bubbled and peeled so it could be an acid attack rather than spraypaint.

43198 been sighted leaving Doncaster, contrary to what has been posted both here and elsewhere, it seems to have kept its name.
Interesting... As on RTT it seems to have been cancelled...

That a path is cancelled on RTT doesn't mean it didn't run under a different schedule, if it went by rail at all. RTT is not an authoritative source of train running information.

When 43194 left Doncaster it did so on the back of a lorry. Might that be the case this time, too?

This could possibly be 43198 being escorted via Exeter by road.

Going by the nameplate on the side I'd say it's almost definitely 198

I passed it at the top of Haldon Hill earlier!

Don't even have to go by the name plate, the numbers on the corridor door!
Most GW PCs have the number here to assist with I.d. when travelling on set.

This was timed as a 15x so suggest a 150 coming back but didn't. Also to PM, the HSTs are going to LA

There were 2 Lowloaders, so suspect 194 and 198. No shortage of loadloaders, 43093 left Laira earlier this evening heading for Doncaster.

Umm - 43194 has been back for some weeks now.

Uhm... yeah. 43194... if it's on a low loader then it didn't last long! This was taken only last week!

So what was on the back of the Okehampton special which suffered wheel flats a couple of weeks ago?
Oh yeah a GWR green 43194. :roll:

The HSTGTi PCs are only going for cabling from cab desk to clean air equipment and repaint so quick turn around at moment. 24 in total.

It seems like there are more PCs on the road than there are on the rails, at the minute!

Indeed, and I know you for one get tired of saying it! I've frequently seen headcodes run different to RTT, stock wrong, VSTP not entered, route incorrect, etc etc. I've even seen a few Q workings pass me that aren't even showing as activated on RTT.
As has been said here before, it's just a timing reference mainly, it's not for being taken as gospel.

What's this got to do with Great Western Livery ?

Yes, it's funny when posts go off track, if you will pardon the pun. (We had a master at school who gave heafty impositions if we went off topics sometimes)
I quite liked the green livery when I saw it the other day when travelling from Paddington.

Get one post off topic and then somebody decides to post something referring to it and then the thread goes on and on getting further off topic until there has to be a clamp down. I'll shut up now - going off topic !!!

I was reinforcing JN's comment about RTT not being concrete info, in regards to the move of 43198, in Great Western Livery.

That schedule would have applied probably to a 150 returning from Wabtec. The HST Power Cars are for Laira not SPM

Thanks Phil. Wasn't sure if 150926 was going to be back in that formation at any point but looks like 150916 is a permanent mix for now.

Confirming that 43198 still has its Oxford 2007 nameplate.

Would be nice if the selected 24 PCs for HSTGTi could have a common naming theme , traditional policy..... .

Someone had that idea a couple of weeks ago, and it ended up as a split off dedicated thread:
