There was no photo in your post unfortunately, 12hoursunday.

Were they these ones?

Do you think we'll end up hanging on to the Arriva ones with the LM (London Midland - recent franchise) ones being cascaded to Wales?
Today at Temple Meads:


Were they working a service or were they ECS (Empty Coaching Stock)(empty coaching stock).

Could I ask you to put up the link so its more obvious? When I checked out 12hoursunday's post, there didnt appear to be anything there.

That's why I quoted miniman's post (including his photo) from yesterday in reply.

Many thanks.

I am sorry to say that I'm no computer buff and my daughter is getting fed up having to keep instructing me in what to do when using this and other internet sites. Angry

No technically is a London Overground unit on short term lease to FGW (First Great Western). The route it operated on with Silverlink County is now operated by London Overground.

Would explain why we had a FGW (First Great Western) unit last night for the 22:30 service from Cardiff Central to Portsmouth Harbour. Any idea why we had to have it replaced at all guys?

I don't understand your question, but if it was a refurbished 158 which is in FGW livery you are quite lucky as they are very nice inside.
