Congratulations on finishing uni, time to have a bit of rest and enjoy the available time now!

Still could have been another couple of cabs, although 8 Cabs is the maximum with Pacers in the combo. In Wales and West Days there was a 09 15 Cardiff to Paignton and return on Summer Saturdays worked by 4x153.

Yesterday (I think) the Journeycheck page was saying a Southampton to Great Malvern service was 1 coach instead of 2. I thought it might be something with a coach locked out of use, but it is looking like it was a single 153

Showed as 1 today so would appear another one added later.

This makes sense, as the return trip yesterday was a single 153. Was full and standing between Temple Meads and Bradford On Avon, though it was nice to have a train that could actually open all doors at Avoncliff.

The 19:10 Westbury departure from Bath Spa (ex Great Malvern) was formed of 150246. There must've been a set swap at some point! Why are there so many sort formations? Train faults?

Is booked a 150/9. So makes a change for a 150/9 to be substituting for a 150/9 instead of the other way round on a Portsmouth. 150/0s are OK for this job as 3 Car also.

Do you know if 158962 has been broken back up or has FGW been playing with the formations of their 158s again?

(Last I've had is the 2 x 2-cars were currently 749 & 769)
