Daytime and just two return trips I understand.
Totally different to several/many overnight turns!

The staff trains arrive back at Plymouth at 18:59 and Swansea at 18:19. Plenty of time to run back to London. I think the problem comes when you end up with 3 sets at Cardiff overnight which would block up the entire station |

Indeed, as Dan Paynes confirmed in that Wales Online article, trains wouldn't reach Cardiff until after 2am/nearly 3am, and would need moving on to somewhere with a drivers booking on/off point. So Landore or back to Bristol

Made more complicated by all lines being closed at Port Talbot from 22:30 until 10:30 Sunday affecting the route to Landore and the Seven Tunnel closure complicating the run back to St Philips. |

We don't know what the green HST▸ set will work tomorrow until the early hours of tomorrow morning when the allocations have been finalised..... I'm guessing that's what you were asking rather than what it worked today |

The green set was used today on the GWR▸ staff beano to Newbury Racecourse.
There is a rumour (and I stress, only a rumour!) that it will be the stock for a Branch Line Society/GWR charity special from London Paddington to Buckfastleigh via Heathfield on Saturday, 10th October.

I wouldn't be surprised - I think as a current one off, it will be used for a lot of "headline" services. The problem will be keeping all eight coaches and two power cars together.

So that's it then is it, only one HST▸ set, a Turbo, 57 and sleeping cars to be adorned in green? I thought this was meant to be the rebirth of the GWR▸ . But it clearly isn't that at all, merely a PR▸ exercise..

Everything apart from the HSTs▸ will be repainted green as and when their repaints and overhauls are due.

Including the awful 143s?? As for the HSTs, instead of smart green units, we'll end up with dirty hybrids like this (and probably including the odd green coach/power car in a formation).  |

"Re-record the entire recording for that particular journey" as you said isn't possible as announcements are not recorded 'per journey' but just as recordings of individual phrases or words that can be put together in the order required.
The point made here by Louis94 is correct, and has been noted by Four Track, Now! |
