Last nights 'up' failed at Penzanxe. HST▸ ran in its place with the 0650 Penzance to Paddington cancelled this Morning due to one HST short.
Expect a daytime stock move over the weekend in time for Sunday night down as both sets are currently in Penzance,

Too simplistic to fix overnight and run the 06:50 with the sleeper set? Minimal knock-ons if it's a bit slow as the HST for the outbound diagram from Paddington's already in London! |

In addition it only has two day (seated) coaches so might be a bit problematic with passenger loadings.

At that time in the morning, some of the punters might have been quite happy with a bed instead of a seat...  |

Which way is it going after Westbury?
Sorry for two reasons... 1) I didn't see this post till this morning - by which time you'll have already found out! 2) The Reading TTP (Timetable processor) doesn't know or care about locations west of Westbury, so the schedules I can see don't have this information. |

- It was platform 12.
- Had accidentally booked berths not over wheels.
- Think will have to get use to them before being able to sleep at lot.
I booked 2 joining comparment for 2 people.
Is it much cheaper with 1 comparment with the bunks?

One of the long rock engineers have shared interior photos on Flickr today of the first day coach. Looks rather smart https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/co-tr-p/ |

But given the almost total airline seating, they look rather claustrophobic for an overnight journey. I wonder what the degree of recline is too.
I do hope they haven't compromised the optimum configuration just on the basis that the coaches may get the odd outing in the day time.

Could be. Hope they turn the lighting down at night too. Looks a bit harsh in the pictures |

Airline seats i prefer, when I've travelled I've not been entirely comfortable sharing a table seat with a total stranger and sleeping with stranger opposite.
And Paul has posted on rail forums that many will miss the reclining seats so I assume that they aren't recliners

Thanks.
Does anyone know why the sleeper compartments have been given a day time configuration. Surely that only makes sense on long continental journeys where the occupants will be awake some of the time. For journeys lasting from 11:30pm to 7am (or thereabouts) why would you need anything other than a bed?

Tim the seated coaches are typically around 75% full when I've used it so I guess there is demand.

But if they are 75% full in a low density configuration, then why change it to a high density config? As well as seat pitch, they are narrower due to being 4 abreast, so much less comfortable for an overnight journey.
