If it isn't broke don't fix it!


FGW▸ (First Great Western) should have thought about this before tampering with the HST▸ (High Speed Train)'s.

I'd rather have a class 142 anyday over these rancid FGW▸ (First Great Western) HST▸ (High Speed Train) refurbed set's, and im a die hard HST fan....

Yes, i have travelled on these units. I have done many miles on them.

I am a regular user of them on the valley lines.

And i agree with "shazz", i have never once had, a or seen a failed 142/143/144.

As stated elsewhere on this page, we dont all care about tables, wi-fi, cripple crappers, boring announcements. We just want to get from A-B. Long live the railbus and i hope they all get preserved in about 15 years.

I think you'll find that the national rail conditions of carriage state there is a maximum size for wheelchairs....!!!!

I cant see what all the fuss is about these units.

There brilliant units. Who cares if they bounce all over the place, just be thankful a train shows up. I personally cant wait to see these units back on the local lines in devon/cornwall etc...

I'll definitely be out doing them. FGW▸ (First Great Western) have actualy got something right.
