1  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Raildar not showing Cotswold line services on: August 22, 2018, 14:39:33
Hi,

Has anyone any idea why the live map from Raildar (http://raildar.co.uk/radar.html) fails to show any Cotswold line services (or any services just north of Didcot)?

Just asking.
2  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Class 800s to Cheltenham & Hereford wef 25/06/2018 on: August 22, 2018, 14:27:23
Hi,

I rode on my first Class 800 on Saturday 18th August (8:47 Malvern Link to Paddington 5-car).

A pleasant enough experience and not too noisy. But it was my impression that the train did not use the electric wires from Didcot to Paddington. I could hear the diesel engines on the whole journey in.

Am I mistaken or was there some engineering work on the OHP equipment?

I saw a 9-car set in Didcot station as we joined that line and it had no pantographs raised.

Regards
