Wasn't / isn't there a radio station in Swindon called GWR▸ ? imagine their DJs becoming train managers. "Coming up....... Bath Spa and Bristol, but first Wet, Wet, Wet"

There was indeed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_FMFurther history of the individual GWR radio stations by following the links in that Wiki. |

"This is about more than a lick of paint and a new logo."
"Some key milestones will be: "
2015: "GWR▸ launches....the first trains sporting the new GWR colours"
2016: ..."new uniforms released"
2017: ..."station and signage upgrades completed"
Hmmm

Having not been near an FGW▸ GWR station since Sat 19 Sep, does this mean that some / many / most stations still have FGW branding on signs, posters etc? |

I've not been to a FirstGWR-managed station either, but I'm pretty sure I saw a GWR branded 'amendments to train times' poster at Carmarthen (an ATW▸ -managed station only served by FirstGWR occasionally) the other day. Of course that sort of thing will change much faster than platform signage. |

Don't DOO▸ it, keep the guard (but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea if the driver unlocked the doors on arrival at calling points).

Didcot still has the enormous 'f' on the glass above the main entrance doors, despite going green from paint. Plus a welcome sign from FGW▸ .

I see Didcot still has blue seats on platforms, although much green paint has been applied to buildings. Could be a slow transition.. |

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

Sorry, the green set.
I take it you're referring to the "best source of timetables for today" post which I split off? To my knowledge, none of the public facing timetable sites detail the units and carriages on each working. |

Sorry, the green set.
The Green HST▸ set finished up at Swansea (Landore TMD▸ ) last night. I can't yet find definitive information for today, but if it does come out it'd most like likely be on either the 1054 or 1154 Swansea - London Paddington. That'd be followed by either 1537 London Paddington to Swansea, or 1627 London Paddington to Hereford. Five sets finished up at Landore last night, LA15 being one of them. Engineering works this morning means nothing departs Swansea before 1030. Equally, LA15 may not come out to play at all today, having a day off at Landore. |
