GTR to loan 6 387's to GWR

[Andy1673]

So GX has now only 18 units (210-227) for 16 diagrams?

Sounds eminently reasonable - GWR achieve 31 from 33 of virtually identical units

Only 14 SX diagrams

Only 14 SX diagrams

Only 14? I thought there's 16

Reduced to 14 from this weekend, hence having the spare units to send to GWR

It will add a bit more colour to the Reading area

Shame they didn’t send 101-103 instead of 204-206 - then they would have one of each! Could even have ended up with a photo op for 101/201/301 all together

After yesterday they could run a green one, a white one and a red one in that order to give an Italian flag.

57306 was the motive power

387201-203 are staying with GN, 387204-209 are going to GWR.

 

[03_179]

201-203 are staying for a short time but will be going to GWR
207-209 are as Hornsey as replacements

So which one is it then?

201, 203 both worked today.
202 is stopped.

As far as we (at GWR) have been told it’s the latter…

 

[aleggatta]

I mean, it would make sense to only have to do a software load on 6 units rather than 9! But that does require a level of common sense!

Thank you

Reds to Reading, Greens to....Greenford? No, forget that, no electric string.

Whites to West Berks! (which is the reality from what I've seen)

This silliness shows why we need standardised liveries.

Does that apply to lorries and buses, where I fairly regularly see labels "on hire to XXX" (or similar wording)? * It's the exact same situation.

* No, I'm not talking about lorries in a customer's livery.

I just thought when the red 387s came in, this wont end well! Couldve been built with Southern livery with sub Gatwick express branding.
iam a fan of blue/grey and network southeast eras to be fair.
