Is it only me who is tickled by the idea that there's actually a street in Virginia called 'Warp Drive'? |

My assumption had been that Hitachi would be paid for every hour of unmuzzled running used with price for use of the trains reverting to the original price once the wires were up and the trains muzzled again. I suspect those turkeys at the DfT» asked for unmuzzled without time limit to remuzzle, and that is the extra cost of the increased wear & tear over whatever lifespan was agreed. |

Anyone know which services from Paddington will be an IET▸ this Friday 29th December? I have the return portion of a Taunton - Paddington Super Off Peak return which I think is valid via Bristol as well, so might give one a try if the timings work.
Thanks in advance!

Subject to caveats. These times are in the system but there are HST▸ 'shadows'. A Paddington to Taunton Super Off Peak is valid via both Bristol TM‡ and Bristol Parkway. There are no time restrictions on 29th December.
0657, 0757, 0827, 0830 (Bristol PW▸ ), 1130 (Bristol PW), 1227, 1327.
There are more through the afternoon and evening, but I've not deciphered the diagrams for those.

For some reason, I rather enjoy the run via Parkway, only experienced so far during engineering works. I'm heading for Devon tomorrow, but it looks as if it will be on a HST▸ . Whatever is carrying Mrs FT, N! and myself runs ECS▸ from St Phil's to Marylebone before coming back to Bristol via the Chilterns.

Maybe not, but as they're "widened lines" able to take class 165, 166 and 168 trains, I would suspect their clearance may not be too problematic. At the other end of the run, interesting to note on one hand that the suggested red and blue franchise map has neither franchise running beyond Swansea (so an end to through services between London and Carmarthen?), yet comment was made in a Chris Grayling speech of their running to Pembroke Dock on summer Saturdays. |

All IET▸ workings on the Cotswold Line will just be 5-cars for the time being.
