Title: London & Thames Valley Rolling Stock
Post by: gwr2006 on May 02, 2018, 14:23:58
Can someone help with the following information:

1. The number of diagrams, by route, that are still operated by Class 165/166 Turbo.

2. The number of Turbo's still at Reading to operate those diagrams, and the number now in Bristol area.

3. The seating capacity of the 4-car Class 387 Electrostar.

Thank you.

Greenford, Windsor, Bourne End/Marlow and Henley Branches
Reading to Basingstoke
Reading to Redhill/Gatwick
Didcot to Oxford/Banbury/Great Malvern
Reading to Newbury/Bedwyn

2. The number of Turbo's still at Reading to operate those diagrams, and the number now in Bristol area.

I know 17 have gone to Bristol and I understand GWR had 56 so that would leave 39 in Reading (some outstabled at Oxford)

Reasonable, since that's what Porterbrook say. Oddly, the seating pictures they show have 60 seats in the DMOS(B), but the number they quote for it is 56. Presumably they changed the layout after the pictures were drawn, and only edited the text. But, if anyone wants to check, it's the carriage next to the pantograph one.
