GWR to reintroduce daytime compartment stock?

[Shimbleshanks]

Don't know if anyone else has been getting GWR ads on their Internet feed but it looks as if at least one British train operator has seen the light and is reintroducing compartment stock on their daytime trains. Not sure about the four-a-side seating on the British loading gauge though...

Stock image probably.

I have noticed that after the 1980s there seems to be a lot less comedy and drama films using trains as they increasingly didn't have compartments.

Well, I don't think a clapped out 4CEP would have made for the best setting for a film in 2005.

Not sure if this post is actually serious; anyone who has travelled much on the continent could tell you that is a picture of fairly typical European side corridor stock. In other words the advertising agency had simply used a stock image. Nothing to do with GWR's future rolling stock plans.

You would think GWR would supply their own images to the agency, guess they were too embarrassed to use the IETs for publicity

I'd be a bit suspicious about this ad, it just doesn't seem right. The wording seems a bit odd, and I'm pretty sure GWR would insist on a picture of one of their trains. As we've only got the graphic, I can't see where the "Learn More" button leads but I wonder if it points to a scam website?

And every word with a capitalised first letter, which is odd.

Given similar scams have been discovered and relayed back to this forum, coupled with social media these days being very bad at dealing with spam/scams, this wouldn't surprise me.

Almost certainly a scam.
