Title: New Stock for the Swindon to Westbury via Melksham Service Post by: PhilWakely on October 10, 2018, 22:59:16 GWR's replacement for the 153? (https://www.flickr.com/photos/pwakely/31357388738/in/dateposted-public/) Title: Re: New Stock for the Swindon to Westbury via Melksham Service Post by: JayMac on October 10, 2018, 23:45:44 I saw that set pass me at Dawlish this morning. I was just getting out of the car, parked by the Marine Tavern, as it exited Kennaway Tunnel. Wasn't quick enough to grab a pic.
I did bag 'Harry Patch' a little later. Hopefully this power car (43172 - staying with GWR) will be put to appropriate use on Remembrance Sunday/Armistice Day, 11th November 2018. 100 years since the cessation of hostilities in the First World War.

Great pic in the OP link Phil. :) Title: Re: New Stock for the Swindon to Westbury via Melksham Service Post by: CMRail on October 11, 2018, 06:34:07 Rumour has it that a fully fitted kitchen will be on boards providing pullman services.
