Post by: vacman on December 08, 2007, 19:40:58 Apparently some of our 158's are going to Scotrail, (some of the ones that were meant to go to Northern), which is another First company!!! something fishy going on?? 158855 and a couple of others are already with Northern.

Of the 14 going, only 10 are actually with FGW, the other 4 have been on short term leases to Scotrail and Northern.Title: Re: some of our 158's are going to Scotrail.

Will FSR now sublet them to FGW? Until recently weren't we subletting one to FSR from here? Title: Re: some of our 158's are going to Scotrail.

Post by: vacman on December 10, 2007, 13:20:09 Of note now is that no 158's are booked to work in Cornwall!

And that means the two trains from Bristol are 150-no luggage and the midday departure from Penzance which connects to London is 150-no luggage absolute nightmare, that trains a nightmare with a 158.Title: Re: some of our 158's are going to Scotrail. Post by: devon_metro on December 10, 2007, 18:17:21 Of note now is that no 158's are booked to work in Cornwall! What a stupid decision. Looking at the strengthening diagrams for Bristol I am mythed to read that a number of services are strenghthened with a 158 for a short commuter route. Should be 150s. Have FGW forgotten about the far south west? 142s, lack of 158s... Title: Re: some of our 158's are going to Scotrail.
