Title: Class 153 Unit On Heart Of Wessex/Malvern Services? (13/03/2008) Post by: Lee on March 13, 2008, 07:59:18 From the FGW website :
06:39 Westbury to Weymouth due 08:05 This train will run short formed with 1 carriages. Title: Re: Class 153 Unit On Heart Of Wessex/Malvern Services? (13/03/2008) Post by: CliveD on March 13, 2008, 08:32:26 I can confirm that this is correct - 153329 to be precise - ruuning 14 minutes late. This would mean that that the 0811 Weymouth Gt Malvern (not good as this is often an extremely busy train), 1251 Gt Malvern Weymouth (1449 ex Bristol TM) and 1711 Weymouth Cheltenham will be so formed. Interestingly, a 150 and a 158 were noted stabled in the sidings at Westbury this morning.

Interestingly, a 150 and a 158 were noted stabled in the sidings at Westbury this morning. If it was a Ex-Arriva 150 you saw, then it formed the 07:38 to Great Malvern from Westbury. Interestingly it arrived 150+158 from Warminster and also joined onto the 143 pacer I boarded down to Westbury this morning, to form a FGW 143+ ex ATW 150+ ex TPX 158 6 car combo Great Malvern train. A real mix up, but 6 cars will be appriciated by passengers further up the line. I took a video of this on my phone, see the link below!! (apologies for the quality, anyone with a Sony Ericsson phone will know what the video quality is like!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odDLPyG_7KQ Title: Re: Class 153 Unit On Heart Of Wessex/Malvern Services?

I have to admit that it was a comfortable journey, though. Pacers run pretty smoothly on main lines :)

Not related to the 153, but I note the following : 10:43 Great Malvern to Brighton due 16:14 This train will be started from Worcester Shrub Hill.It will no longer call at: Great Malvern, Malvern Link and Worcester Foregate Street.This is due to an earlier train fault.

That was being worked by an ATW 150, as far as Bristol. This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
