    Real-time information on the train

    Stops can only be removed, not added on all GWR stock - including the 80x and request stops don't appear at all (some are mentioned upon departure from the previous compulsory stop, but not in all cases). GWR PIS are reliant on preprogrammed 4 digit codes (headcodes on 80x), which are only...
