So, what with all the miles this forum gets each day on the rail network, I was wondering if you could help:

I am after services booked for a 180 (or even seen with a 180) would be appreciated to be reported.

TIA

I have seen some 180's on pad > cardiff (arriving cardiff usually just before 4pm)

Although this was during the mass replacement of hst's for refurbs, so no idea if its still on

try the 4.15 departure SWINDON To Cardiff Central......failing that PAD to OXFORD is a good bet

None are booked 180 any more.

See following news item on the Cotswold Line Promotion Group site for detailed of workings on the route that are still meant to be Adelantes for the time being. Ceratinly the 5.52 Paddington-Worcester and return have been Adelantes all week, also the 17.51 off London has been so far. Can't comment on other services, though I believe one also appeared on the 15.51 on Tuesday, causing serious overcrowding.

theres about three of them loitering in Pad between 1700 and 1822 - i'll have a look tomorrow and tell you what routes their running

They've been doing it all week

The 17:06 Paddington-Westbury was worked by a 180 last night, and also tonight the 17:30 Paddington-Taunton via Bristol TM (which was very wedged - the announcer at PAD tonight was asking Reading passengers to take the 17:33 Paignton HST service)
