Title: Re: 165 on the Trans Wilts? Post by: IndustryInsider on July 02, 2018, 11:47:51 165s were being introduced on some new services today IIRC. I believe the 2-cars are being labelled as coaches D and E, with the 3-cars A, B, and C - presumably to make things more logical when working as 5-car units, not that it guarantees A, B, C, D, and E in the correct order of course! Does that mean reservations will be possible?
Title: Re: 165 on the Trans Wilts? Post by: grahame on July 02, 2018, 12:23:44 Two diagrams - that's most of the trains - are scheduled to be worked by class 165 as from today. Those two diagrams are the local shuttles between Westbury and Swindon (including the Frome extension at lunch time) and the extra train in the middle of the day that arrives at Westbury late morning from the Bristol direction, and heads back after lunchtime to Bristol Parkway to then form the "Parly" service over the Rhubarb Loop.
