One of the ladies looks quite feisty, though.  Bottom picture, right hand side? I've had the odd run in with FGW▸ / GWR▸ TMs‡. I'd think twice about entering into a ticket validity debate with her though.   |

(I believe the "models" were asking about facial expressions before the show, and were told "Just imagine you're on the Gateline and you see Bignosemac heading towards you"!) |

Uniform looks fine. Except the waistcoats do not fit the men. Everyone one of them has crumpled up material over the shoulders. Either the cut is wrong or the staff too burly  |

It's not as green as the one I've seen, which must have been a trial design. This one is more grey.

Or, as they say elsewhere, "I'm not so green as I'm cabbage lookin'" No, I don't know either. |

I've just realised where I've seen before the particular shade of green GWR▸ are using. It's the same colour as the algae sludge my Grandad used to clean out of his fish pond filter bed.

Does that mean you're not a fan, BNM?!
For what it's worth, I think it's quite a nice uniform and is about as nice as a green uniform can be!

Damned with faint praise if I ever saw it! |

GWR▸ have relivered a second HST▸ in green and it made its debut run to London on the 10:00 from Penzance to Paddington. A bit hard to photograph it when you are riding on it. However I suspect there may be some better pictures from Tiverton Parkway later. In the meantime here are shots from Newton Abbot and London Paddington.

Has it had an internal refurb as well?

No it hasn't. Indeed my seat in the restaurant had a broken reclining mechanism so I enjoyed my meal four inches shorter than everyone else. |

However I suspect there may be some better pictures from Tiverton Parkway later. I think bobm's Pullman lunch must have been a little too much as he does himself a disservice! He is alluding to TVP pictures as he happened to spot me photting, but his pictures are better quality than mine   Incidentally, bobm, were you able to sample today's Chef's Special on the Pullman? Glasto Mud Pie! |

If I'm being pedantic, it actually made its debut on the 0702 PAD» -PNZ |
