This is fast heading back to the bad days of last December with a lack of serviceable trains. A number of course have gone for refurb. May need to get those 142s that arrived yesterday into service now rather than wait till December. BTW October's Modern Railwaysis claiming that because Dft wont allow FGW the 150s from West Midlands that it looks like the 142s/143s will remain in service until the bitter end of this franchise. O dear!

Yup, thanks for highlighing it Jim ... funnily enough I've just been following up a post elsewhere that shows this is the best train of the day - 15 minutes quicker than any other and uniquely no changes - from Salisbury to Chippenham.
