They won't be as fed up as when a two car 150 has turned up in the past, and it isn't that unusual at all... Paul Title: Re: Hurrah for 150 127 Post by: phile on March 03, 2012, 18:00:51 I suggested on the 150 Cascade Thread on the Across thge West Board that we might see one of the newly formed 3 Car 150/1s going to Portsmouth.
Are there problems re availabity of the 3 Car 158s at the moment as I spotted 158763 (one of the 2 Car) working 14 23 Ports mouth Hbr to Cardiff on Wednesday (29th). Still, 150127 provided more seats than 159763 and better than a 2 Coach 158 as well as a 150/2 Title: Re: Hurrah for 150 127 Post by: tramway on March 05, 2012, 10:36:48 Sat on 3 car on the way to Portsmouth with a lot of very fed up PAX.

Paul Actually I would be hard pushed to think of the last time a 2 car 150 did the Pompey run at peak times, and if there is a stand in for for 158 FGW have managed to put a 4 car 150 together. Whether that has split at Westbury I'm unaware of. I suggested on the 150 Cascade Thread on the Across thge West Board that we might see one of the newly formed 3 Car 150/1s going to Portsmouth.

And I suspect that the earlier incident with someone being struck may have had something to do with it. It also seemed a lot more crowded on there for a Fri than an equivalent 158. Title: Re: Hurrah for 150 127 Post by: phile on March 05, 2012, 17:13:47 Yes, 150127 Permanent 3 Car Set and 150121 also. The Centre Cars are 2 toiletless ones left over from the Cascade. They had lost their 52 partners over time due to write off bumps.
