Class 158 3 - Coach Deployment
« on: December 12, 2006, 04:44:20 PM »
James ,

Based on what I saw on Monday , I reckon that FGW are planning to deploy a 3 - coach Class 158 unit as follows :

0730 Cardiff Central - Portsmouth Harbour
1122 Portsmouth Harbour - Cardiff Central
1500 Cardiff Central - Westbury
1655 Westbury - Bristol Temple Meads
1748 Bristol Temple Meads - Weymouth

Is there any way you can find out if this is the case?

I doubt it, as the unit would still need to get back to Bristol, but I will try & find out morre

Thanks James. I also wondered how it would get back from Weymouth , but based on the train strengthening talk / documents Ive come across , plus observation , I think that its worth looking into.

Just back from TROWBRIDGE, where I dropped off my customers ... destination Bangor, North Wales; no suitable service available this week from Melksham.  Southbound train (probably the 15:50 but over half an hour late? formed of a 3-car 158 and appeared overcrowded.)

This is the latest we have , James. Any luck in getting to the bottom of this?
