There was talk that instead of running full length HSTs▸ with slam doors, they would also operate at 2+4 but I don't know what happened to that idea. It did get DfT» approval.

From reading the WNXX▸ Forum I think thats the plan, but the other three slam door four car sets aren't quite ready for service. |

The 2+4 sliding doors as we know are designated class 255
I’ve just read the 2+4 slam door sets operated today have been allocated as class 257. I haven’t seen reference to this until a few minutes ago!

Unless they get an extension past the end of the year Class 257 could be the shortest lived ever.

Yes ... even 3 months shorter that the atmospheric railway in South Devon. https://www.engadget.com/2018/11/12/brunel-atmospheric-railway-history/ |

Seen on a poster at St Austell the 257's seem to have been given the name "Classic Class"...

Caught up with the latest converted 2+4 set on Wednesday (GW04) currently accompanied by power car 43093 Old Oak Common HST▸ Depot 1976-2018 at one end.  Unlike the first set the latest ones do have wheelchair provision  It arrived on the 15:56 from Newton Abbot and seen here waiting to form the 19:14 to Plymouth in the company of one of Network Rail's measurement trains.  |
