I have seen some photos on a Facebook group of the 769s in Penarth and, if I remember correctly, one has run there in service.

Not necessarily a direct service, but a re-extension of the Cross Country franchise to Swansea!

I think that sounds similar to a Class 165/166 DMU.

As a wheelchair user, I feel incredibly uncomfortable being placed in first class and would much prefer to be back in standard. Unfortunately I don't have a choice where to sit and often feel like I'm being judged for being in first without a first class ticket. It's people and their 'entourage'...

I spotted both the 1C01 0519 Paddington to Swansea and 1L42 0730 Carmarthen to Paddington services this morning. I found it rather odd that the coaches on both units were lettered A to E on these services. So anyone with reservations in coaches G to L would have been quite confused. Any ideas as...

I believe it is heading back from Maliphant to Stoke Gifford tomorrow evening.

I think it's time to head over to see if I can see it poking its nose out, then ^_^ Does anyone have any idea when it will be heading back to Bristol/North Pole?

It seems like there are more PCs on the road than there are on the rails, at the minute! :lol:

Well spotted! I'd say that confirms it, then. I'd better put some specs on, next time. 8-)

This could possibly be 43198 being escorted via Exeter by road. https://twitter.com/abnormal_loads/status/848488675642159104

I'd completely forgotten about the testing of the diversionary route through the vale onto Bridgend. Do we know if 800 services will be reaching Swansea initially or just Cardiff? I guess it'd make sense to head straight onto Swansea if they want to bring the Hitachi depot there into service...

Thanks for your warm welcome, Peter. Much of what you say makes perfect sense. I guess we'll just have to wait a little while longer, further westwards! I suppose they will start to serve Cardiff before they are pushed a little further along to Swansea, albeit under diesel power, as you...

Hi folks, Newbie here. Long time lurker! Are there any early indications of the class 800 doing test runs through the Severn tunnel and onto the South Wales mainline? We've travelled to Temple Meads to see it but it would be nice to see it in operation nearer to home!
