Title: What is reverse formation when the whole train reverses en route? Post by: grahame on July 19, 2024, 07:30:29 Quote 09:59 Cheltenham Spa to London Paddington due 11:54 Facilities on the 09:59 Cheltenham Spa to London Paddington due 11:54. This train will run in reverse formation throughout. First class located at rear. As journey check flagging goes, this is a very minor matter indeed ... but the award and pedantic part of me asks if that's first class in the rear from Cheltenham Spa, or in the rear from Gloucester where the train reverses.

Post by: infoman on July 19, 2024, 12:30:20 I presume the set started its journey at Paddington and "in reverse formation"?
The 05:23am from Paddington to Swansea(M-F)was always booked to be in reverse formation from London to BTM. As the train reverses at BTM,it then is in correct formation for the rest of the day This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
