Indeed... They are all Hitachi AT300s however.
800: IET or Azuma
801: Azuma
802: IET. Nova 1 or Paragon
803/805/807 have no names yet
810: Aurora
(395: Javelin)
They are all so similar (barring perhaps the 395) that it is pretty confusing that they have so many different classes!
Compared to 2 hours on a 165/166, picking up the IET at Westbury is a dream in comparison. The only thing I dislike about them is that some seats don't align with the windows. But I believe they have more seats than the HSTs they replaced. In the summers pre covid, the GWR/FGW HSTs were packed...
And browsing a forum about railways couldn't possibly be conceived as "for geeks"? ;-)
