Yes they did talk about a 7 day railway, but not a 24 hour a day 7 day railway.  Maintenance has to be done sometime.

All/most of the 57s are now in GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) green. The vast majority of the Sleeper stock is also now in green.

Indeed, on last night's down sleeper only one coach - B - was in the old livery.



(The stock being taken back to Long Rock by the depot shunter)
