USB chargers on GWR units

[Dieseldriver]

Hi, whats the situation with charging facilities on GWR turbo units and GWR 158 units? Do they all have USB charging points? Thanks

Can't speak for the 158s, but the turbos all have both USB and 3 pin mains sockets. There's a 3 pin socket and 2 USBs on the wall at each row of seats. They can be a bit hit and miss though, if they're not working in one coach, it may be worth trying another coach.

A lot are tripped out a lot of the time due to hair straighteners etc being plugged into them..........

The 158 fleet were all isolated en masse at one point, I believe they’ve since been reinstated.

Yes a guard told me this was the case last year (around May) when I moved carriage and found a working socket. They were surprised it worked but concluded that particular carriage must have been missed out.
