I am reliably informed that the first of our 150/1's has arrived at St Phillips marsh, 150127 to be precise!

Would probably just go into the 150 pool so will end up everywhere!

But then it means training up every train crew depot! When we hired some before Wessex only produced a conversion booklet for the minor differences, don't think full training will be required as all of the important things are the same as a 150/2 |

FGW▸ will have to get the crews to dig out there Wessex Books! |

The differences are fairly minor, am sure a 'booklet' or a quick briefing would suffice. Crew prefer them as they give better visibility, no gangway connection obscuring the view to the drivers right.....

We dont know that for sure. See quote below : The latest RUMOUR is that Network Rail Have barred FGW▸ from using 142's as of today, 12th November, and that FGW will now be using 150/1's instead for the new timetable. I must stress this is not confirmed, and wondered if anyone has any more info?
It is believed that it was a 'paperwork' issue which has now been resolved and that crew traing resumes today so the 142s December debut is still very much on! This despite the arrival of 2 150/1s seen at Bristol yesterday. |

150127 is one of the batch of 150's that were destined for us next year but we've had it earlier so yes it will take the place of a 142 eventually!
