Hi all, I was fortunate to witness a GWR Empty Coaching Stock working from Paddington to Reading TCD via Theale at Reading West yesterday. I have not been able to find a schedule for this working on Real Time Trains (5Z50) so I assume it was a VST path. Would anyone happen to have the timings...

Hi all, I note that in years gone by 57s with short mk3 formations have ran daytime trains for GWR. With First Group issuing a tender for new Locos for GWR and TPE, do we know if this is expected to occur again before being replaced? Thanks,
