What Traction to Expect...

What is the booked traction for the 0959 Monday to Friday FGW service from Ivybridge to London Paddington?

I am 99pc sure it is a HST but the Platforms at IVY don't look long enough!

Anyone got the answer?

TIA

Yes it is a HST. Plenty of FGW HST services stop at platforms which are too short to accommodate them.

Thanks Mojo!



Any ideas on which platform that would go from?

Which platform??? Ivybridge only has an up platform & down platform, not sure which one is which number.

It says in the timetable! What else could it be?! I know they're bad, but I don't think they'd send a 150 up!

They have sent a 153 (but that was emergency)

FGW HSTs have SDO so stop at some very small halts in Devon and Cornwall

Exeter St Thomas is one - http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&l..._R3DNszh7xgvRZVxwMV6-w&cbp=12,332.43,,2,-9.19

The HST sign is the stop board - the platforms are quite a way behind the camera...
