Yes that is correct.

Hi Does anybody know what the current situation is. Is there still just 1x 4car HST set in service. How many 150s still in service in Bristol area and how many turbos are there in Bristol now?

Do we know how many turbos are currently allocated to Bristol and how many will be eventually allocated?

Not sure if GWR times have been updated. I thorght Paignton to Exmouth was changing to every 30 mins from May?

Is it possible to have an up to date list of 165/166s Allocated to St Philips Marsh Bristol please?

I saw that Wales rail was keeping 153s after 2020. I guess the toilets will be locked out of use? What's the plans for EMT to comply with accessibility regulations as HSTs and 153s don't comply. Will all other company meet the deadlines?

Any strike action I guess would be very disruptive to the network especially if coordinated with SWR strikes.

Appears that GWR drivers and guards at Paddington are to be balloted for strike over a sacked staff member. https://www.rmt.org.uk/news/rmt-to-go-ahead-with-ballot-of-paddington-depot-members/

Can anybody confirm if there are still plans to internally refurbish the 165 and 166s? Have the all had mods to comply with 2020 legislation?

802s was supposed to start serving Devon from this week. Has that been put back now?

As far as I'm aware the seating hasn't been changed. I'm not sure if a disabled toilet and seating area has been added to the current set in service?

158763 did run on this service. Seen it in Paignton. I thought the plan was for 158s to run Barnstaple to st James Park. I thought 150/2s were due to run Exmouth to Paignton or has that plan changed?

Does this mean the existing Paignton services will remain unaltered? I suspect not. Not sure as it does not go in to detail.

Thanks

This came to my attention today. Is this new? https://www.crosscountrytrains.co.uk/about-us/press/more-seats-for-south-west-rail-users
