Does anyone know where I can find Saturday unit diagrams for FGW? Alternatively, does anyone know what tends to work the Swindon-Westbury services and the various Gloucester/Bristol/Great Malvern- Weymouth/Warminster/Southampton services? Am I correct in thinking that all Cardiff- Portsmouths are 3-car 158?

Are you talking about the current or past timetable?

The rest of the week could potentially be useful for other TT developers, or indeed any diagrams or CWN's... :whistle:

Swindon - Melksham is usually a single 153 that splits off a working from Gloucester in the morning. Bristol - Westbury - Weymouth corridor is a mix of 15x units. Cardiff is generally the preserve of the 158/9s, but the 3car 150s do venture out that way

Generally speaking, services around Bristol consist of: Great Malvern - Gloucester - Bristol - Westbury - Weymouth - Typically 150 with sometimes 153's attached Cardiff Central - Bristol - Portsmouth - Almost always 158 - Only ever seen a 150 coupled on once Cardiff Central - Bristol - Weston SM - Taunton - 15x timed for 75mph, but do from time to time see a 158 Hope this helps James Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Steamer |

At least on a Friday, unsure on the rest of the week, the 1O98 1050 Gt Malvern - Brighton is a 159. Works off of 2E17 from Warminster and I believe takes a piggy back ride on the 0602 Salisbury - Westbury.

FGW are currently hiring in a 3/159 & a 2/158 from SWT to provide additional seats on other services throughout the Bristol area. The 159 & 158 arrive at Westbury by way of 2C04 06:02 SAL-WSB, usually dragged there by the Cl.150 off 2O01 (05:24 WSB-SAL). The Cl.159 then goes on to work; 5E17 06+53 Westbury - Warminster (SX)/5E17 06+52 Westbury - Warminster (SO) 2E17 07:23 Warminster - Great Malvern 1O98 10:50 Great Malvern - Brighton (SX)/1O99 10:46 Great Malvern - Brighton (SO) 1V96 16:59 Brighton - Bristol Temple Meads(SX)/1V96 17:00 Brighton - Bristol Temple Meads (SO) 1O86 22:23 Bristol Temple Meads - Salisbury (with the unit off 1V62 2057 SAL-BRI) plus any associated ECS moves required at end points to facilitate the next working. When in doubt - Contingency plan 2A. Someone didn't buy the milk - 2A. Someone sneezed at Swansea - 2A. A driver complains the cab is too cold - 2A. Unable to operate a HEx service 4 vice 8 - 2A. Points failure at Ipswich - 2A. Landslip at Pitlochry - 2A Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Steamer |

From a set of unit allox I have for Westbury for 02/08/14 (I have done a T/T due to HST diversions). 158888 did the following; 2V16 06:03 Salisbury - Westbury (with 150128 & 159002) 2M10 08:22 Westbury - Swindon (via Melksham) **** 2M24 20:01 Cheltenham Spa - Westbury (via Melksham) 1O86 22:23 Bristol Temple Meads - Salisbury (with 159003) I was at work that day, I believe it stayed on the "Golden Valley" between Swindon & Gloucester/Cheltenham Spa, which seems to be the standard diagram for the unit. When in doubt - Contingency plan 2A. Someone didn't buy the milk - 2A. Someone sneezed at Swansea - 2A. A driver complains the cab is too cold - 2A. Unable to operate a HEx service 4 vice 8 - 2A.
