Should you choose the later Pullman up to London today broadgage, you should have the retro liveried power car, 43002, up front.
When I snapped a photo it was on the rear of the up, rather than up front on both Sunday and Monday. It was indeed. Previously 43002 had been on the 1st Class end of a set. I wrongly assumed it still was. I too snapped it on Monday. Passing Dawlish.  |

... no room for cheese. ... The Pullman was about half full.
... whereas broadgage was completely full.  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

If you "really" want to go mad it should make a trip to Swansea and back in between, including the 10:45 South Wales brunch Pullman from Paddington! |

Afraid that plan has gone out of the window.
The up Hind was terminated at Reading to provide a set for the 09:06 to Plymouth which started from Reading.
This was due to the fire on the 180 at Ruscombe.

Ironically this is the fortnight when there is lamb on the menu.
Also the train involved should have formed the later of the two lunch services from Plymouth, which is now cancelled as the set was badly damaged and was terminated at Taunton on its down trip.

Surely there would be extra lamb on the menu for a few days? |

I'm posting rather sheepishly here, but if we do already have a lamb to the slaughter, I'd suggest to save a cut let's 'chop, chop' and before you know it, we'll be in Barnsley. |
