Where is the stock coming from?
Are the 08:12, 08:27, 08:38, 08:47, and 08:55 from Paddington made up of 2 units? And do they need to be two units west of Maidenhead as they have become contraflow trains? It might ... even ... be that the right stock is in the right place at the right time, and the paying access charges back into Paddington is an attractive alternative to paying access charges out to Reading. Now to sort out crew, paths, and complaints from the good people of Twyford that they've still only got slow trains, and from people on the faster trains that they're paying a lot more money per minute!
I think we were talking spare
HSTs▸ as turbos were being spoken of as being uncomfortably hot?....
