A little oddity - the 14:21 PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains):WOF is being reported as running with nine coaches today.

 Was DOO▸ (Driver-Only Operation (that is, trains which operate without carrying a guard)) between Paddington and Oxford as well.

I was wondering about that but didn't think we'd see one on the Cotswold Line for a while yet. Quite encouraging.

An oddity in that it hasn’t been seen before I suppose, but yes, 800304 has got the honour.

It would surprise me if it was running DOO▸ (Driver-Only Operation (that is, trains which operate without carrying a guard)) though as that would well and truly get the unions into a frenzy.  A Worcester based driver was allocated to it so he definitely wouldn’t have driven it DOO.  DOO test ‘shadow’ trains have been operating in passenger service though.

Sorry if I’m being thick - it’s been a long day - but what’s a DOO▸ (Driver-Only Operation (that is, trains which operate without carrying a guard)) test shadow train?

See my post here, Bob:

http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=18792.msg239405#msg239405

Basically to train up LTV▸ (London [and] Thames Valley) drivers who will be driving them DOO▸ (Driver-Only Operation (that is, trains which operate without carrying a guard)), and to test dispatch procedures etc.  They are running as 1Zxx and are available for passenger use.  Here is an example of one from yesterday:  http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O08091/2018/06/12/advanced
