Quote End of the line for InterCity 125 trains InterCity 125 High Speed Trains are being phased out after more than 40 years. The trains were used on the lines between Paddington, Reading, Newbury and Bristol. When they were introduced they brought a new generation of faster travel all over the country. Transport Correspondent Mike Pearse reports. Title: Re: ITV News - End of line for InterCity 125 trains Post by: SandTEngineer on May 06, 2019, 19:41:21 No mention of West of Bristol then?

Oh, I forgot, we don't exist...... ::) Was this just on ITV Meridian? That wouldn't cover your area. The reporter did say that it was the end of the line for 125s into Paddington and towards the end he mentioned that it would be some time before they withdrawn across the rest of the country (that would presumably include the west Country) Title: Re: ITV News - End of line for InterCity 125 trains Post by: bobm on May 06, 2019, 20:50:14 Quote from: SandTEngineer No mention of West of Bristol then?
