Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: Timmer on March 15, 2009, 20:49:37 Ok, Here is one of several pictures I have taken on my travels, I'll start with an easy one ;D Good picture this one thetrout as its not a scene that will ever be repeated but was a common site during the early days of the expanded FGW franchise...an ex Trans Pennine Express 158 pre-refurb. Can't be many un-refurbed units left to be done now, just a couple of 150s and 143s?(http://www.railwaypictures.co.uk/data/media/2/Cc_158769_wey.jpg) Where is 158769...?? Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: thetrout on March 15, 2009, 21:28:52 Good picture this one thetrout as its not a scene that will ever be repeated but was a common site during the early days of the expanded FGW franchise...an ex Trans Pennine Express 158 pre-refurb. Can't be many un-refurbed units left to be done now, just a couple of 150s and 143s? Thanks Timmer, The quality of the picture turned out rather good (not meaning to blow my own trumpet ;) :P ) considering I only had my Mobile Phone Camera at the time ;D Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: smithy on March 16, 2009, 10:43:05 Ok, Here is one of several pictures I have taken on my travels, I'll start with an easy one ;D Good picture this one thetrout as its not a scene that will ever be repeated but was a common site during the early days of the expanded FGW franchise...an ex Trans Pennine Express 158 pre-refurb.

Possibly of the EWS Trucks variety?? Nope ;) Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: Tim on March 16, 2009, 16:22:33 It is painted with "dynamic lines". I'd guess it was an HST?
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: devon_metro on March 16, 2009, 16:39:25 Correct TOC
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on March 16, 2009, 17:17:08 me thinks it may be a class 180
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: devon_metro on March 16, 2009, 17:27:42 2007/8 Footfall was less than 2000, and the train is stopping...
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: thetrout on March 16, 2009, 22:30:44 Would I be right in thinking that the track through the station is electrified...?
I have a sneaky idea it might be... ;) Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: devon_metro on March 16, 2009, 22:33:27 You'd be wrong in thinking that ;)
I could get to this place with only one change of train. Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on March 16, 2009, 22:34:30 plymouth
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on March 16, 2009, 22:35:03 nooo ignore plymouth im so stupid.... western super mare
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: devon_metro on March 16, 2009, 22:37:38 Did I not mention the low station footfall?
It's a former Southern Region station. Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on March 16, 2009, 22:39:22 see what happens when i dont read all the posts... were your trying to trick us with the one change?
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: G.Uard on March 17, 2009, 08:34:58 Looks like a yellow cab end in the mix. A hybrid 158/9??
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on March 17, 2009, 18:11:13 class 180/// i really have no idea where
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: devon_metro on March 17, 2009, 18:25:16 No, G.uard might be familiar with this type of train, although not the location.
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: devon_metro on March 18, 2009, 16:53:13 Another clue then?
I'd be hard pressed to alight from a train here in daylight during winter (and its not Melksham :D) Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: thetrout on March 18, 2009, 20:04:31 Yeovil Pen Mill...?
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: devon_metro on March 18, 2009, 20:10:00 Is Yeovil not served at daytime?
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: thetrout on March 18, 2009, 20:25:13 Is Yeovil not served at daytime? Point Taken... Wait... Is it Bruton...? Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: thetrout on March 18, 2009, 20:26:35 Idiot, Bruton is also served during the day...! :-X
I'm going to say nothing now for fear of being banned for stupidity...! :-X :P ;D Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: devon_metro on March 18, 2009, 20:32:56 Another clue...
The train is allocated to 83C Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: grahame on March 18, 2009, 20:41:37 Something has me looking at the St Budeaux area ... something that lead to the Tamar Valley line but is now part of the main line, perhaps. Something else has me looking at Dean and Dunbridge ... and a third something tells me I'm probably off track with both areas ;)
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 18, 2009, 20:48:29 Isn't 83C the old steam days shed code for the depot at Exeter, - now EX?
Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 18, 2009, 21:07:35 Another clue then? I'd be hard pressed to alight from a train here in daylight during winter (and its not Melksham :D) A wild 'stab in the dark' from me, then - Newton St Cyres? Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: thetrout on March 18, 2009, 22:23:58 I bet Devon_Metro is really enjoying this... :D ;D ;)

I'd be hard pressed to alight from a train here in daylight during winter (and its not Melksham :D) A wild 'stab in the dark' from me, then - Newton St Cyres? Bingo ;) Title: Re: Where is 158769 Post by: G.Uard on March 19, 2009, 08:12:34 Exeketer huh? Could it be a refurbed 143?
