Title: Arriva Class 175 in the Bristol area today?? Post by: XPT on October 28, 2010, 20:13:14 Today when walking through the office complex which I work at, I looked out through the large panoramic window, and I'm pretty sure that I saw an Arriva Class 175 running from Bristol Parkway down towards Temple Meads. This would have been at just after 2:30pm. Could this possibly have been the 1251 Great Malvern-Weymouth service, running about 10 minutes late? And this set is on hire to FGW from Arriva? Or could this Class 175 have been used on a non-passenger service today running through the Bristol area for some reason?
I hope my eyes weren't deceiving me. But I'm pretty sure it was a Class 175. It would be very interesting to see any of these used on FGW services.
