Debate cars vs coaches! (I seem to remember we did have that debate a while ago).

https://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=27903 - and we included "carriages" but not "vehicles".

Richard Clinnick (editor, Modern Railways) tweeted a fleet update on GWRs▸ (Great Western Railway) IETs▸ (Intercity Express Train) with the cracking problem still ongoing....

Quote
Just 38 IETs from the fleets of GWR and LNER» (London North Eastern Railway - about) have been through Eastleigh works for repairs so far. 800110 has been through twice!  Currently there are 800013, 800110 & 802102.

Still to go from GWR -
800002-012/014-016/019-021/023/025/027/029-036/301-302/304-308/311-321
802004-006/009/013/014/017/018/020/022/101/103-106/109/110/112/113

plus another 33 sets from LNER.

So many years yet.....
