I am currently writing a timetable for Bristol, and have come across train 5E01. I cannot find where the unit for this train has come from. Could anybody help? (I have probably missed something.) Thanks in advance Log in to reply |

Good afternoon, IIRC the unit/units that form this service are stabled in the old parcels bay/platform 2 at Bristol Temple Meads & then shunt via Pylle Hill to platform 4 before forming the service. If I remember (and late turn train service permitting) I shall interrogate 'Genius' tomorrow & find out exactly & what the unit(s) that formed it (subject to the train running of course).

Good morning, did this before work, as I know how the GWML has a tendancy to collapse on a late turn!  Today's (07/07/14) 5E01 is formed of 150131 (on diagram PM371) & its workings leading into forming the service are thus: 2V88 08:53 Weymouth - Bristol T.M. 11:28 5V88 11+30 Bristol T.M. - Platform 2 11+37 5E01 12+28 Platform 2 - Bristol T.M. 12:35 5E01 12+49 Bristol T.M. - Exeter St. Dvds 14+03 Best wishes Dibbs When in doubt - Contingency plan 2A.

A fair shout Coops & assuming it runs tomorrow I can confirm as to whether the workings provided thus far are MX or not.
