Thank you guys for the explanation. GWR should make a daily service to Stourbridge Junction to London Paddington via Worcester offering a nice journey avoiding Birmingham New Street using a class 800/802

With pantographs are they constantly pushing on the overhead wires. (Sorry for all the questions, I am a new comer to rail and I find it amazing how they work) plus I doubt I will ever see a class 800 in Birmingham any time soon

I see, how does the bi mode work is there a point that the pan goes down and the Diesel engines start? Can it be done whilst in motion?

Does the 800s whilst in diesel mode operate like the class 22*s Diesel engine driving the electric motor that moves the wheels?

Is the 16.01 from Worcester to pershore usually a class 800?

So it’s acting like a DVT? Using one 68

I thought it was as there is a cab at the front or is that the class 68?

Isn’t that the class 397?

From the picture of 717001 it’s already caked in dirty by the wheels, white is not a colour for a Trains!!

Travelled through derby this morning and saw a 4 car class 710 not far outside derby station and a single 345 driver coach. Is that the bombardier works (I have never seen the place)

Don’t forget the class 707s, 350/2s and 360s that will become free, I thinks there’s going to be a surplus of trains after 2020. Seems new franchises that are up soon will probably have a clause to introduce new rolling stock. With ATW they don’t seem to have gained any new modern trains in the...
