Why would what we presume may be a class 08 need to take a class 57 off the back of the sleeper? |

I think the 15mph is a bit misleading - probably just a 57 LE move off the back of the sleeper.

Ah, well I was referring to the post above: The top link DID» link to another '15 mph' service which was timed to run from the depot and arrive Bristol in behind the sleeper around 02:30 IIRC▸ . Although this has now been removed. |

HST▸ 'Special Livery' to be unveiled at about 11.30am Indeed: I've been invited to a 'special press preview' - which I am unfortunately unable to attend, due to my being working that morning: Special Press Preview
You are invited to attend a special press preview of the St Philips Marsh Open Day ... on Bank Holiday Monday, 2 May.
Celebrating the 40th year of the Intercity 125, on display will be a mix of diesel and steam traction and a unique line-up of High Speed Trains from operators all over the country. Sir Kenneth Grange, designer of the HST, will also attend to unveil a special locomotive at 11:30.
I really do hope the weather stays fine for all you lucky people attending that day: it seems to be a grand day out!    |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.

Those who have bought tickets, are they print-at-home so that I can make my mind up whether or not I'm going on Sunday evening?

Don't DOO▸ it, keep the guard (but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea if the driver unlocked the doors on arrival at calling points).

Just booked mine- there are still over 1000 available- kids tickets are getting a bit low though- 130 left, but I'm wondering if these figures are simply so that Eventbrite's systems can function, rather than actual maximum capacity. We waited till the weather forecast was published- it's looking fairly good, a few showers around, but certainly not a wash out. I may regret bringing a 2 year old though He's more of a bus enthusiast. Fortunately he no longer needs his pushchair, and will be fine on his reins. |

Just a reminder to all those from this forum who are attending the Open Day.
An opportunity to meet with other forum members has been arranged for 3-5pm in The Knight's Templar Wetherspoons close to Temple Meads station.
All welcome. Even if you're not going to St Phillip's Marsh.

Sadly, I need to be back in Exeter for 4.30pm and then catch the 6pm back to Reading and Swindon, so will miss out on the meet up. But may well bump into BNM et al at the Marsh during the day. |
