The 142 will run as far at Taunton where the HST from the 1630 Pad - Tau will take over. Might be a bit of a squeeeeze! Title: Re: Exeter's finest Post by: welshman on August 13, 2008, 19:44:59 They should let it run all the way to Paddington. Now that's what I'd call a real train service.

The FGW 142's can display 'London Paddington' (http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s81/chris64ex4/Rail%20odds-sods/142030ExeterWestYard10-06-2008.jpg) on the blind. ;D ;D It left Exeter around 7 late I gather.

At least 1 of those 142's can display anything it likes as a flip chart is used in lieu of a destination blind. ;D Title: Re: Exeter's finest Post by: Chris from Nailsea on August 14, 2008, 23:26:56 Ah, the wonders of modern technology, eh? ;D
