Which stock would I have travelled on on the North Downs Line?

[Benjwri]

How many of the 19 are in passenger use? I'm sure I've travelled on one of them.

mods note - split from here.

Zero. The 769s have not been approved by unions for GWR, and therefore are not in passenger use. You may have travelled on them with a different operator.

No, I travelled on something else that doesn't look like the usual trains I travel on, on the NDL but I don't know what it was.

I did film inside though. It may even be something is used some years ago on that line and forgotten about.

A 2-car 165 that’s had the refresh so has GWR grey and green seats?

There isn't anything other than Turbos that GWR can operate on the North Downs Line.

The Turbos are being refurbished so perhaps you travelled on a refurbished unit. There’s been some 2 cars running and I think they are all refurbished

Well it looked different inside to the ones I usually travel on, even though it's a turbo.

Maybe a 2-car one with the updated interior and bike rack.

166205 Perhaps? With the experimental 2015 GWR interior?

I suspect it was this one.

Hasn’t worked on the North Downs for ages. Even with some 166s making a recent comeback as part of the Saturday swap between West and TV, 205 hasn’t been one of them. It’s been 219 and one other that I can’t quite remember (but it wasn’t 205)

Wasn't a refurbished turbo was it?

Probably. It just looked very different inside and it felt like the shape was different so probably one that use to run more frequently on the line than now and I've just forgotten about ut.
