    They have solved it today. 1A04, which later forms 1C24 to Taunton, is reported as a single five-car set. I hope they don't try splitting that. Geoff Endacott

    Perhaps they need to build a fiddle yard. Geoff Endacott

    Chippenham, today. Down 800012 (first London end) leading 800015 (first country end.) Geoff Endacott

    It is a rural halt. Bath's main station was closed and is now a supermarket. Geoff Endacott

    Six pairs reported to be in traffic today. Geoff Endacott

    Putting handles on the doors would probably cut costs. Geoff Endacott

    So do the drivers of Class 800s have to speak Japanese? Geoff Endacott

    They ought to use a Western. Geoff Endacott

    So it will be ready for the Calne Show then. Geoff Endacott

    So it's not Diddle-a-lot then? Geoff Endacott

    The Class 117 headcode is slightly curved: http://www.railcar.co.uk/type/class-117/ The Class 118 headcode is very curved: http://martynhilbert.railpic.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=929 I hope the images show the difference. Geoff Endacott

    Is Crossrail a line designed for grumpy passengers? Geoff Endacott

    Maybe the local and long distance services can have one track each from Exeter to Plymouth. The long distance services (with the Voyagers) can have the dry side through Dawlish and the local trains can have the wet side. Geoff Endacott

    That service isn't booked to be 800s yet is it? Geoff Endacott

    Tickets are now available online for those who don't want to pay cash at the door. The fee for booking by card is a very modest 50p. Saturday tickets: www.wegottickets.com/event/423199 . Sunday tickets: www.wegottickets.com/event/423202 . This is very much an experiment to see how the system works. So who is going to be the first person to test it? Geoff Endacott

    At this rate the layout is going to be ready to take the place of Peafore Yard at Calne in January. Geoff Endacott

    Anyone who wants some numbers about the way the Class 800s are performing can look at the Railway Performance Society data here: http://www.railperf.org.uk/index/iet . Geoff Endacott

    5Z19 North Pole to Taunton, booked to stop at Nailsea & Backwell, Highbridge & Burnham and Bridgwater, but not Bedminster. Geoff Endacott

    They will be fine after Christmas because that's when they will all be switched off and then switched on again. Geoff Endacott

    They don't need a fitter in person. They need a fitter train. Geoff Endacott

    Isn't that something which should be done by the manufacturer, not the purchaser? Geoff Endacott
  22. Geoff Endacott
    Service cancelled between Bristol Parkway and Paddington due to a problem with the doors. (Should be sets 800 005 and 006.) Geoff Endacott
  23. Geoff Endacott
    The problem is they haven't jacked it up - they've jacked it in! Geoff Endacott

    They should have stuck with the diesel-hydraulics in the first place. It would have saved a lot of money. Geoff Endacott

    ...or have a red light and a green light. Geoff Endacott
