Title: 13:42 Paddington - Worcester Shrub Hill, Sunday April 19 Post by: Worcester_Passenger on April 19, 2015, 17:56:43 This train (and the corresponding return working) was operated by a class 180 today.
Is that normal? Title: Re: 13:42 Paddington - Worcester Shrub Hill, Sunday April 19 Post by: ChrisB on April 19, 2015, 18:08:39 No - they're usually under weekend maintenance....
Title: Re: 13:42 Paddington - Worcester Shrub Hill, Sunday April 19 Post by: IndustryInsider on April 19, 2015, 18:16:36 Normally a HST I believe. Would have been very full between Oxford and London no doubt!
Title: Re: 13:42 Paddington - Worcester Shrub Hill, Sunday April 19 Post by: Worcester_Passenger on April 20, 2015, 14:10:20 My other half, who was on it, says that it caused some considerable confusion with seat reservations, with standard class passengers having reservations in D (the First Class on a 180).
Title: Re: 13:42 Paddington - Worcester Shrub Hill, Sunday April 19 Post by: bobm on April 20, 2015, 21:56:45 In another incident with the potential to cause slight confusion, I saw an HST coming off Old Oak Common this afternoon with both a full kitchen/buffet and a mini buffet. I assume only one was staffed.

I assume only one was staffed. Still some interesting combinations of carriages running around the network. Still a handful of sets with two FC carriages, some with just one. Most sets are now 1.5 FC.Title: Re: 13:42 Paddington - Worcester Shrub Hill, Sunday April 19 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on April 21, 2015, 18:35:27 ...

That looks like the perfect train for broadgage. ;) :D ;D Title: Re: 13:42 Paddington - Worcester Shrub Hill, Sunday April 19 Post by: Worcester_Passenger on April 26, 2015, 13:10:41 It looks like this train is a 180 again this Sunday - on JourneyCheck as 5 coaches instead of 8.
Title: Re: 13:42 Paddington - Worcester Shrub Hill, Sunday April 19 Post by: Louis94 on April 26, 2015, 13:27:35 Not this weekend, it is a 5-car Turbo to Oxford, 3-car beyond. Shortage of HST sets is the issue.
