142028 vice HST▸ (High Speed Train) on 1A98 1706 Par - London Paddington (caped Pz-Par due to failure of down HST at LSK)

The 142 will run as far at Taunton where the HST from the 1630 Pad - Tau will take over.

Might be a bit of a squeeeeze!

They should let it run all the way to Paddington.  Now that's what I'd call a real train service.

The FGW▸ (First Great Western) 142's can display 'London Paddington' on the blind. Grin Grin

At least 1 of those 142's can display anything it likes as a flip chart is used in lieu of a destination blind. Grin

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
