This train (and the corresponding return working) was operated by a class 180 today.

Is that normal?

Normally a HST▸ (High Speed Train) I believe.  Would have been very full between Oxford and London no doubt!

My other half, who was on it, says that it caused some considerable confusion with seat reservations, with standard class passengers having reservations in D (the First Class on a 180).

In another incident with the potential to cause slight confusion, I saw an HST▸ (High Speed Train) coming off Old Oak Common this afternoon with both a full kitchen/buffet and a mini buffet.  I assume only one was staffed.

Still some interesting combinations of carriages running around the network. Still a handful of sets with two FC‡(resolve) carriages, some with just one. Most sets are now 1.5 FC.

That looks like the perfect train for broadgage.  Wink Cheesy Grin

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

It looks like this train is a 180 again this Sunday - on JourneyCheck as 5 coaches instead of 8.

Not this weekend, it is a 5-car Turbo to Oxford, 3-car beyond. Shortage of HST▸ (High Speed Train) sets is the issue.

The return journey, the 16:28 from Shrub Hill, will be very cosy.
