jonny777 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Apparently, I am accompanying Mrs Jonny on a trip from Reading to Worcester in September. Not being familiar with this route, what kind of passenger trains operate on the line? Will I be crammed into an uncomfortable seat in a plastic unit-style thingy, or are HSTs used on these services? I would prefer a Hymek with 9 on, but I gather these more gentlemanly trains were taken out of service some time ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted August 29, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 29, 2015 A right mixture of HST, Class 180, and class 16X. Best way to suss which is which is to do an inquiry on Realtime Trains for Moreton-In-Marsh and click on specific trains (the headcode) to see what it's timed for.

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted August 29, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 29, 2015 Ah shame we cant run out a proper train for you Jonny - a Class 43 Warship plus 7 along the beautifully scenic line was a fantastic way to get to/from London Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that info Mr Stationmaster. I had not realised that Realtime Trains contained so much detail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were that to happen, I might be tempted to let SWMBO get off in Worcester and for me to continue on to Hereford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be tempted anyway, a lovely stretch of railway, and a HST is hardly the worst way to do it, failing that neither is a London Midland Turbostar, just watch out for that class 150.
