I saw an adelante in reading tonight (Monday 2nd April)

« on: April 02, 2012, 18:40:10 »

Whilst waiting for my 1736 service tonight I noticed an adelante (sp?) pull in from the west into one of the northern platforms (9 or 10?) . I am guessing it was going on to paddington. I believe it was in FGW^▸ livery .

I seem to remember these were used on the Thatcham line on some of the early morning services prior to the introduction of HSTs^▸

Most likely out on a test run which they have been doing for the past few days.

It will be good to see these units back on the GWML^▸ certainly adds some variety

Yep it was, I left platform 9 around that time and it was just coming into platform 10 (not sure if it was stopping) - all nice and new and shiny it was!
