Should be by end of the week.

Interesting about Conductors. Will they be paid TM rate?

What routes do Gloucester HSS sign by any interest?

That’s the first time he mentioned it I think.. :rolleyes:

I don’t think anyone has mentioned it ever in history, but the HSTs are going off lease causing this stock shortage. The quote suggested that you expect head codes to be avoid it when it is impossible. You sound like someone who thinks trains can just run and signals crew and allocations don’t...

So you are telling me that GWR should’ve have ordered 93 9 car (640 seats) units for all off peak Cheltenham’s, Bedwyns, Bristol Fast, Cotswolds Line, Oxfords and Plymouth to Penzance? No. The new timetable will show how the order will work practically. You are comparing it to it’s...

Because it’s not OTT when every single day people point out short forms? We get it, there’s a short form. There is a website called JourneyCheck and you don’t need to repeat what it says? It’s like me saying that the seats are hard, it’s something over mentioned.

Do people fail to understand the facts here? It’s not particularly that difficult. As I mentioned earlier, IETs are providing 20% more reliablty than the HSTs. That means that they are more suitable for operation. Does anyone who sits at home all day staring at Journey Check atcually use these...

Hybrid Seat Reservation system is going to be introduced early December. This means that you will be given HST, 9Car and 10Car reservations all on one reservation. Of course l, as of current, 10car reservations won’t be offered on South and North Cotswolds. No further information given as of...

If I was not talking directly too you then I wouldn’t need to drop where the blame is. I was explaining to the person I quotes why they are sat in empty sidings.

That isn’t GWRs fault, that’s the leasing company. They are waiting to be refurbished and sometimes are not just sat in a siding as suggested.

By then probably an IET however you never know.

I understand your points but it is invalid to compare a pre-2005 design to a 2018 design. You couldn’t cope with a 7 car HST with tables at nearly every seat and 2 full first class carriages, and people are unsociable and sometime put bags on their seats. It wouldn’t work.

Your post says that you are not paying hitachi for a late train. You are not paying hitachi but you are sending trains that lease has ran out, ScotRail need to refurbished. This means that trains are unavailable leading to 5 car units running on 10/9 car diagrams. Class 800/802s are both effected.

Not all short formation services have a major effect. During the holidays, the 17:30, in the top ten busiest intercity services, was not as busy. Off peak Cheltenham’s run fine and so do some Bristol/Cardiff. Imagine if HSTs came in halves in 1975, you wouldn’t moan as often because this...

Good on you for writhing that and many of us appreciate however the managing directors and co who are on this forum will try to prove you wrong. I can also add more facts. “Downgraded catering on the IET.” 50 new customer hosts have been hired to provide 4CH per 10 car set. FC host in charge of...

More tables on IET funnily enough. 24 standard class tables on a five coach IET compared to a whopping 10 on a high density HST. Low density is exactly the same minus 2 due to the buffet. No excuses there? 52 on a nine car set.

No. The roll out phase of the IETs are behind due to electrification delays and all of that. Right now we should have all IETs with us, wires to Cardiff and Oxford and nearly Bristol. By your sense, if I order say a phone case on a amazon, then my delivery gets delayed, I then cancel my order...

It’s a debate that no one will never agree on, despite the facts available. Most people who prefer the HST have valid reasons, others because they like the trains, others who like the age of the trains. I find points bere useless hence sends people into debate and furtherly causes another...

I take a liking to the ten cars for the trolley as it’s faster...
