![]() I then legged it to Platform 8 for the 15:49 Moreton in Marsh formed of dud pair 43036+195 for the run to Hanborough, arriving 5 minutes behind schedule. I decided to hang around and eventually it was dud 180103 that rolled in 30 minutes behind schedule, therefore I declined that.Īs I was making notes of pairs of powercars and noting if any were required or not, and likewise me doing the same at Reading when I get there, for simplicity I have listed the moves below in list form similar to linear hops on London Underground, with requirements highlighted in bold.ģ87149+136 14:45 PAD - Hayes & Harlington (my very first second batch of Class 387s 141+147 were on the second Hayes & Harlington diagram)ġ65104 15:12 Hayes & Harlington - West Draytonġ65109 15:21 West Drayton PAD (first time scoring the recently constructed diveunder at Acton) Also, my hopes were not totally dashed yet regarding the search for 180104, as the 09:22 was delayed and had not arrived from the depot. Knowing that I would not make the 09:22 Worcester Foregate Street departure, I decided to take a look to see if I could spot any required powercars at the buffer end of the platforms, while also making notes for what their partners would be when I get the chance to look at them at the Bristol end of the platform later on.

Back then, my original plan was to do a circular trip outward via Birmingham New Street, then the IC Crosscountry to Oxford, and back home via the OW&WR, however, I heard that on the day of that trip, the three worst possible events happened to be taking place in Birmingham that day. The aim of today was to have another attempt at reducing my Great Western Railway IC125 powercars and to see if I could get my final GWR Class 180 (180104), plus I would be partially revisiting the beginning part of the Oxford, Worcester, & Wolverhampton Railway part of the GWR a line that the one and only time I covered the track was back in 1990 on a trip from my then local station Cradley Heath to Oxford, changing at one of the Worcester stations.
