It's very likely that exemptions will be made for certain rolling stock. European legislation harmonisation will see less stringent rules on disabled access. If new entrant countries to the EU» can carry on using ancient rolling stock, then it won't be impossible for the UK▸ to do so also.

Hopefully FGW▸ will now stop borrowing ATW▸ 150s, as ATW aparently need at least one extra unit for the new Fishguard services. Anyone know if that arangment has ceased yet. |

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).

Northern need the FGW▸ 142s and LM▸ 150s in service in time for the December timetable change while the Northern 156s are needed at EMT» in service in time for the December timetable change. I imagine in worse case scenario the 180s could stay with Northern beyond the Dec timetable change. However, the Dec timetables have been written to include extra services. For instance, Northern are running more services to Chinley so that TPE▸ don't need to stop their overcrowded 185s at Chinley at peak times. |

The Arriva 150s are still with FGW▸ at the moment, on their so-called 'day release' between Bristol Parkway and Weston (and indeed wherever else).
On the subject of 142s, it made a rather unusual 'traction' change on the 23:06 from Bristol to Exeter last night.

I have read on wnxx about some drivers suggesting to take 1 of the class 142's in London Paddington as part of a farewell tour. I would like to see the looks on people faces as a pacer turns up at Paddington

Would be doubly amusing if they booked it for the 1803 to PNZ!!!! I'd love to see FGW▸ attempt to provide a 'Pullman Dining' service on a 142.    |

If not, where is ATW▸ 's extra unit going to come from for Fishguard services, magic a 153 or two to have 100% relibility? |
