Was it on the 16:55 (Ish!) train to Paddington? If so I saw it while waiting for the 17:00 Swansea, got a few photos of it on my digicam too! I'll see if it's there today, I'm travelling on the 17:00 all this week from work. May have a nose around inside if there's time.

Glad to see some good responses, again it shows how certain people think the British are dull, if it hasn't got a yellow front then you can't see it? Something strange going on there! I agree that the fronts should be a contrasting colour, not brown for instance, but bright red or silver would be gr...

RE: Passengers in lead vehicle running at 100mph+ What about Japanese 'Shinkansen', German 'ICE3', Italian 'pendolino', Russian 'ER200' etc????? Yet another 'UK different to everyone else, safety overkill' example. Loads of other countries have 100mph+ MU's! WHY NOT BRITAIN?? Another big pet-hate of...

Seen the 180 on test many times, when I'm working on the signals (TPWS!) on the GWML. I agree, it looks very nice, nicer than the Voyagers I think, the front looks neater. Also saw one at Bristol TM today, must be a passenger carrying one. At last!

Hi, Looking forward to that route! I live in Bridgend by the way. I'm a volunteer on the Gwili Railway in Carmarthen, and so I know that part of the line well. Looking forward to Landore viaduct and HST sheds!! Are you going to create the internal railway system at Trostre? could be excellent for so...
