It will be 2 car again in 13th December (and may be in the interim) - Santa on 13th December. And there are 2 car trains every day on certain services. 150 units regular on * 06:12 from Swindon and 19:32 from Westbury(Monday to Friday) * A trip each way on Saturday afternoon, and a morning northbound and evening southbound service * A Sunday afternoon northbound trip 158 unit regular on * 07:04 from Westbury, Monday to Friday * 18:53 from Swindon, Monday to Friday (Charlie M - this one is not usually in standard blue livery ;-) ) Title: Workings of 150 on TransWilts Post by: grahame on October 03, 2015, 09:44:18 P.S. Not sure how the last two posts relate to rebranding (including my answer) - I didn't look in the thread title. I may split off to somewhere better when I have a good connection (or other mod / admin feel free to do so)
Edit to add - this message now looks a bit out of place; the original post relating to a "rare" working was made under a thread talking about the rebranding of FGW to GWR, and I struggled to see the relevance of the picture to that topic - so I used the powers I have here to split the topic into more logical (in my view) chunks.
