Interestingly, tonight it's an HST^▸ (High Speed Train) with 9 coaches.

Not an IET^▸ (Intercity Express Train)?

Complete brain fade. Of course 9 coaches is an IET.

And going via Kemble is its usual journey.

Wot I thought. I've also got used to seeing them as 10 cars with first class in 1,2 6 and 7, or A,B,I and J, or one from the top two from the middle please Carol.

ODD: I looked on opentraintimes, was listed as a HST.

And stopped at Maidenhead, must of been a converted one.

That would be the timing. All high speed services are currently timed as HSTs.

There was a 9 coach HST going around at some point, though.

Adding to that picture ... many current timings for

Timed for 90mph max
Pathed as Class 158 (Express Sprinter) DMU^▸ (Diesel Multiple Unit)

turn out to be class 165 or 166

and timings for

Timed for 75mph max
Pathed as Class 150/153/155/156 (Sprinter) DMU

Are oft run by 158, 165 or 166 units.

I can't recall when a 155 or 156 last appeared at Westbury - from which I have taken those latest quotes
