You can tell from the length on the station CIS▸ (via http://iris2.rail.co.uk/tiger/index.html), but only until it leaves there. Of course you can also look at somewhere later on its route, but once it's terminated that won't work either. And it wouldn't distinguish a 9-car IET▸ from a 2+9 HST▸ (if they was ever relevant). Thanks stuving - new to me! I should have said you need to pick the right display type - for example the Staff View. |

Thanks again stuving - I had already had a play. I find the "mobile view" easiest to get on with, even on a proper computer.

Should be the case for the following trains (worked with two diagrams): 1G11, 07:36 PAD» - CNM» 1G29, 11:36 PAD-CNM 1G38, 13:36 PAD-CNM 1G60, 17:42 PAD-CNM 1L50, 10:36 CNM-PAD 1L67, 14:36 CNM-PAD 1L80, 16:20 CNM-PAD |

Don't know yet, but will try to remember to check. Though recently on weekends it appears getting any train to go to Cheltenham is asking a bit much of GWR▸ !

9 coach IET▸ '800305' on 1G11 Paddington to Cheltenham service today. I also caught one of the 'shadow' services this morning, 5 car IET, on 1Z40 0718 Paddington to Oxford Down Carriage Sdg. Better than the normal 2 car 165 and I got off before Oxford Down Carriage Sdg.  |

Great to see the 9 car IETs▸ finally in service. They are definitely needed.

Absolutely, and they do look pretty impressive. Thirty-five sets in total, if you include the 802s.

Yes, but, I would hope that in the near term that 9 car sets are used instead of what should have been a 5+5 but would actually have been a single 5 car. Going on the shambles so far, I fear that each newly delivered 9 car unit will result in the removal of an HST▸ and a continuation of single 5 car units on services that should be full length. |

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.

As I suspected, IET▸ units are being failed far more often for faults that other stock might be continued in operation with. An example from Friday evening....a 5car IET removed from service at Swindon owing to one of the diesel engines failing....doesn't that leave at least two others under a 5car? But as these are maintained by Hitachi, out of service it came at ran ECS▸ to the Hitachi depot. Whether another was released by Hitachi - ? - but that service went no further.

I thought that the 5 car units had 3 engines the output of which was restricted in normal operation, but that would run at full power if one engine failed. Therefore seems very odd to withdraw from service due to an engine out. One of the alleged advantages of DMUs▸ is the ability to proceed under reduced power when one engine fails. |

It would indeed be unusual to withdraw one from service because one of the engines was out. I have seen several running in service with one engine out before, and as Broadgage says power output increases in the remaining engines. Perhaps there was more to it than that?
