Title: Pure Luxury
Post by: martyjon on October 05, 2007, 10:08:34
Not plushness but roominess.

From the FGW website on 01/10/2007 ;-

12:42 Penzance to Plymouth due 14:38
This train will run short formed with 4 carriages. This is due to an earlier train fault.

Unusual for FGW to run a normal scheduled local service with more than 4 carriages, must be the number finger in need of a FGW makeover OR is it a short formed high density FGW HST.

Thats very odd because that train is booked to be a three car (158+153)!!!!! They're apologising for running more coaches???????

If it was meant to be three-car today FGW now have to apoliges to us even if there doing something good for once. I expect it wasn't a 158.

Apart from HSTs I have only ever been cramed into a unit with no air-con in Cornwall. Nice.

Nearly every "local" service in Cornwall is an HST!
