Yes they are. I was on the 0700 from London to Bristol.
There was a slight problem during despatch at Reading but it was resolved fairly quickly as there were two Hitachi Engineers on the train.

The figure of 110 coming out of Sodbury for an HST is not one that I recognise, at least recently. However following yesterday's mod note we should not be discussing it in this thread.

The RPS archive has a record of 359 start to stop runs between BPW and SWI, incl a few of mine.
The two most recent logs (not mine) show HSTs coming out of Sodbury Tunnel at 108 and 110 mph.
If this isn't the right place to be discussing this I would be grateful if moderator could direct me to the correct thread.
Regards.

Post #251 on the previous page.
Because of the excitement yesterday we allowed some off-topic discussion in this thread but it's time to get back to diagrams only please!
Further discussion of things like performance (which is very interesting so thank you for posting it!) should be done on the main 800 thread which can be found here

Technically we are talking about initial diagrams, as we are only in day 2

Fair enough. But some of us can only travel on Sundays, so I just thought...
That excludes me though, I’m going on Monday.

If you look a couple of posts above yours, there are the Sunday diagrams. And the Saturday ones are a bit further back.

The story, although little actual fact, is posted here.

Just to clarify something - there are 7 traffic sets available at this point. 4x passenger diagrams, 1x traffic spare and 2x driver training units. So not exactly swimming with spare capacity. Any further sets that might be on depots are not yet released into traffic.

Can someone confirm that the IEPs are running today please? Hoping to head out for a ride.
The set that started in Paddington is certainly running.

Worth highlighting that Diagram 2 can't work until the Sunday morning blockades at Reading are finished on the 5th November, so no point getting up specially until the 12th.
