504 and 104 if my eyes didn’t deceive me

In all of the excitement of the new June 2024 timetable now in place, it appears that the two services are now showing in the WTT, as far as I can see starting on the 14/09. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:BRI/to/gb-nr:OXF/2024-09-14/0200-0159?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt

Bang on the money in my books. Only just having moved to Chelmsford and travelling to London daily, the most i have been delayed is 8 minutes. Apart from the 3+2 Seating, the 720's are lovely units, not had an issue with one and the fact they are all identical makes things a lot easier. The...

701043 today, just got off it

Very serious comment now, from a 1L45 at Castle Cary. GWR is a complete no no from Reading going westward now now, as theres been a fatality between Reading and Didcot. Berks and Hants is flooded, Bristol also flooded apparently. West of England closed due to flooding at Templecombe and...

Looking at recent pictures, it does appear 117 is only a two car at the moment, missing it centre car...

I wonder if demolition is starting on the building?

If it’s any help i received an email at 10 past 9 this morning saying I had failed the interview that I had never gone to for this exact role. Have emailed recruitment to see what is happening as seems to be a slight mess up at the moment for this role. They are very good at responding to emails...

But with 165112 going back to Reading https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:V88872/2023-12-10/detailed#allox_id=0

The sets at Exeter Central should be moved tomorrow, 159004 and 019 running 5Z59 via Taunton, Westbury and Warminster. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:23044/2023-12-08/detailed If they do move tomorrow, that would mean they’ve been sat in the Bay at EXC for 5 days.

It is worth mentioning that Adhesion has been absolutely terrible today, was on a service that past you I believe at Oldfield Park and was the slowest crawl from Oldfield Park to Twerton and then on to Keynsham that I have ever been on, which could explain the power being put on and off a lot...

Going to take a stab that it is wheel flat season, and the timetable is unachievable in it's current form

Overheard earlier from a XC and GW Highspeed driver at Exeter St Davids that IET's and Voyagers are to be completely barred along the Sea Wall this time, with Castle's and 150/158's and Turbo's picking up all. It certainly seems to be this way, with all services being operated by 150's and...
