Title: Two car? Three car? Post by: grahame on September 28, 2015, 20:16:44 Silly question / showing my ignorance. Slough, Marlow and Henley-on-Thames - how many carriages on the train during the day? Peak hour enhancements? Looking to do some seat occupancy rate calculations.

Slough, Marlow and Henley-on-Thames - how many carriages on the train during the day? Peak hour enhancements? Looking to do some seat occupancy rate calculations. Maidenhead Marlow is a 2 car 165 during off peak (09:00 to 17:00) Normally the Slough / Windsor is a 2 car 165 all day although in the summer I believe it is a 3 car Title: Re: Two car? Three car? Post by: Adelante_CCT on September 28, 2015, 21:33:26 Yes, Maidenhead to Marlow has to be two car as that's all the Platform at Bourne End can handle. This unit then does the shuttle from Bourne End to Marlow during Peak Hours. The 18:14 from Maidenhead to Bourne End (17:42 off Pad) is scheduled as a 4 car. This also forms the 18:44 off Maidenhead.
The 07:07 from Henley to Pad is scheduled to have 6 cars. .....Having written the above I have now found this from another topic, this going back from the May timetable change. As mentioned above the 17:42 now has an increase of 1 coach from what is quoted below.

Title: Re: Two car? Three car? Post by: grahame on February 19, 2018, 16:49:50 Yes, Maidenhead to Marlow has to be two car as that's all the Platform at Bourne End can handle. Surely that has not changed? Yet from journey check: Quote 20:57 Bourne End to Marlow due 21:04 Facilities on the 20:57 Bourne End to Marlow due 21:04. This is due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time. Will be formed of 3 coaches instead of 4. Title: Re: Two car? Three car?

Title: Re: Two car? Three car? Post by: grahame on February 19, 2018, 20:50:51 Note two train working the 2 car is locked on the branch Platform 2 whilst the Bourne End Maidenhead use platform 1. That's what I understood - journey check error then reporting "4 down to 3"? But the "1" and "2" on the real time reports are platform numbers not train lengths ... unless a 153 has escaped eastward! Title: Re: Two car? Three car? Post by: rower40 on February 20, 2018, 06:06:49 Henley to Twyford shuttle is 5-car on the Saturday of Henley Royal Regatta, and has to do a quick turnround in platform 4, because 5-cars won't fit in the bay platform.

Not wishing to split hairs, but it’s actually a 7-car on the Saturday and Sunday IIRC. Still not enough capacity on all the trips! Title: Re: Two car? Three car?

Definitely a journey check error it must have been one of the Maidenhead - Bourne Shuttles that was 4 down to 3.
