There appeared to be a trio of 153s on the 1607 Taunton to Cardiff today. What were they?

This thread also illustrates how the FGW fleet is being stretched hence short formed trains.

The particular service in question wasn't short formed, just a different formation, i.e. 153+153+153 instead of 153+150.

Unless you were referring to 158766 working that service alone the other day?

Edit: sorry, only just seen the post in thread you linked. Didn't realise it was booked for 3 x 153s! That's pretty impressive.

Well there are loads of requests and no so many answers

Unable to answer the main questions but have merely commented on other aspects which could have been helpful.. I have probably provided you with info in the past but if you want to be so petty you are likely to lose goodwill.

 

[BlythPower]

Sorry for it being late,

Cheers!

If only it'd been 015 again like the day before...

Yep, It changes every day. 165004 today.

To be fair, a lot of people post information in goodwill. They don't have to provide information on a request by someone.
I know its been said on other forums that things like a TOPS lists are provided by members at their own choice, as in theory they could be risking their job by providing such information.

 

[Muzer]

Anyone know which two 444s formed the 0651 Southampton Airport (Parkway) to Waterloo (1B92) on Wednesday 2nd? I did record it but my phone is broken - hopefully temporarily!

Indeed, and I will only provide information if I can find it on a gen group I'm on, or if I've seen it/been on it myself so can provide an answer.

Most of us are, of course, grateful for replies. I sure am when I get one, although I try not to need a post on here and instead make an effort to get the numbers myself.

1C87 1606 London Paddington to Penzance

Thanks to Captain Voyager on HSTgen for this:

"1C87 16.06 Padd Penz 43161/151 dept 17.52 2 late"

Not seeing any of the others I'm afraid.

And I have no gen groups to check the other stuff people are posting about either.

 

[Wolvercoter]

Can someone please supply the 159 on loan to FGW today please? I believe it ran 5F31 1550 St Philips Mrsh H S T D to Cardiff Central.

 

[ash39]

Not a request for something that has worked a previous service, but can anyone tell me what 158849 is working today please?

Also 43310 - assuming it's still on the ex-EMT set which has now been painted. Don't know any of the coach no's though !

Thank you Valenta43021 on HST gen.

43310 has been swapped off the ex EMT set then, as EC64 is the ex EMT set

Well there are loads of requests and no so many answers.

Unfortunately people provide answers out of their own goodwill and there is no obligation to provide answers at all if they don't have time. Also this is typically the time of the year when people take holidays, so that may also have had an impact on response rates.

I have spoken to some people with TRUST access and there are some concerns, of which workload is mentioned as one factor. While it is perfectly fine to request a relatively large amount of information on the odd occasion, I would like to request that members refrain from doing so on a regular basis, for example, requesting diagrams for several units on a given day, as it takes time to look up and post, and most members lead busy lives. This is not specifically aimed at anyone in particular, but just a general reminder. Of course I understand that some days can be worse than others, so there will not be any specific rule in force dictating how many exactly.

Remember that this thread will only ever be of supplementary use to observations made by yourselves.
