How could I not be aware that the 180s have gone from the Cotswold line? They've already started to appear at Heaton depot!

Ah well!
Btw from next week we can’t take 166s on this line, they will be confined to North Downs Line and Bristol. Plus 387s will be running to Didcot.

HST to Swindon

165s are the only units going to Marlow as the reversing tracks at Bourne End are not suitable for three car trains.

800s introduced from next week on ex 180 services. I am devastated to say that two car 165s will be introduced to cover short term for 166s until more IEPs enter service in February.
