229 had the destination City Line on both ends yesterday, driver obviously thought he was being clever. Cheesy

150229 formed the 0905 Nailsea to Taunton service this morning, but the destination board was (rather disappointingly) just 'Taunton'! I was hoping to see 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch' at the very least!

I rather liked the Arriva TW refurb / livery, though - but only from what I saw of it, from the opposite platform.

Inside is like the Silverlink 150/1's but with less comfortable seats and less leg room, I didn't like it at all.

Conner, they're commuter trains not the Manchester Pullman!!!!!!!

Still a world away from the Wessex 150's.

By redoing the layout of their 150s Wessex did improve the fleet giving more space in the carriage by removing some seats and installing tables. Its good to see that FGW^▸ have kept that layout in their refurb of the fleet.

Speaking of 150s I notice that they have been appearing more frequently on the Brighton services recently.
