Hi,
I thought of this the other day when I noticed a Class 165 entering Paddington. The installation of the PIS seems to be nearly (if not) complete. What I noticed on this 165 was that a route number was displayed on the front destination indicator. I think it was on the Greenford service and the route number was '01'. I'm certain that I don't see these numbers regularly, so it seems to be optional as to whether the number is displayed. In fact it seems to be pot luck as to whether the destination is displayed on classes 165 / 166 using this system.
Are these route numbers still widely used (internally?) by FGW? I haven't seen them used in any timetable or publicity.
Does anyone possess a list of all the route numbers used by FGW / FGWL / Thames?
Thanks,
Paul.
