Travelled on the green set on Friday - very clean and comfortable. The green/grey interior is pleasant too. As far as the outside goes the diagonal stripe was virtually invisible unless you look for it..

Noticed yesterday that the large FGW▸ sign on the Adelante shed at Old Oak was being replaced by a GWR▸ sign.

The new GWR▸ website has a section on Pullman dining, but this still features the old FGW▸ video that makes numerous references to FGW and of course features a train in the old FGW livery.
Might be time to produce a new video, filmed on the green liveried HST▸ .

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

I'm hoping to see the green set IF it is on the Hereford via Gloucester service 16:27 from Paddington  . |

Was it from/to Swansea?
Nope, Swansea wasn't on that run. I'm sorta looking for a station name though, rather than a whole route  |

I think now the "green" set has been out and about for a fortnight, it is perhaps time to call a halt on trying to trace its every move on this forum. There are other places on the internet perhaps better suited for tracking down this information and this thread can return to recording the steps being taken in the rebranding without being disrupted by attempting to chase eight coaches and a pair of power cars. |

Well I might as well not bother to enjoy my hobby, I do NOT have much spare time, and yes I have decided to join RailUK Forums. I'm not going to argue but I won't find it without knowing in advance. |

Good idea - many of us are members of both forums ... with our "Coffee Shop" bias towards passengers and theirs toward hobbyists. In this particular case you'll probably find many more members who can help, and threads which track this sort of thing. |

May I also suggest joining the 'HST▸ Enthusiast Group' on Facebook. That's where I enquired on your behalf earlier today Charlie M. No problems with asking the question there about the whereabouts of set LA15.
I am both a passenger and a hobbyist, and with the green set being the 'poster boy' for the rebrand to GWR▸ I can fully understand like minded forum members asking of its whereabouts. I myself am still to get the opportunity to either see, photograph or ride on the green set. So am using all online resources to try and track it.
