Been into Paignton and took a few photos; including and HST (i was shocked! hock: )

As usual they will be on my site! (click on sig)
Any comments are appreciated

Thanks

Are HST's to Paignton unusual? Good pics anyway.

Well no but compared to most places on the mainline they are; and there only appears to be one service a day-the rest are Voyagers and 150/2s.

Thanks

IIRC in winter the Voyagers are once a day, and theres about 3 159s, and then the rest are 150/158/153s

Take a look at the FGW Timetable, it says which services are HSTs and which are Adelantes. (This is useful, it means I should never have to go on an Adelante again ).

MML and GNER also state which stock are used for their trains (though with GNER the printed version does not, only the internet version does).

Well i had looked on the National Rail site which did show the FGW service so i expected that it would be a HST rather than a 180; i have never seen and Adalante in Paignton. What i was shocked about though was that the HST was in a ten car formation-is this normal as from what i remember the average train is about 8 cars?
