  1. Thanks, I guess that confirms my assumption. Again, thanks for confirming my assumption. 1993, BR was running Swallow 125s to Fishgaurd then? And yeah, Fishguard services are now run by ATW, so no Intercity 125s anymore. Although: a fictious picture of course, I based the livery on the one used on the Cardiff - Holyhead loco-hauled train. I'd rather have Merlin or Swallow HSTs return though. Intercity 125s are still used on the Pembroke Dock run actually, summer Saturdays only though. Here's a shot of the summer Saturday HST to Pembroke Dock at Whitland: (This particular image was actually taken by me, and was the original image that I photoshoped to make the Arriva liveried HST above.)
  2. I've been Google-ing to try and confirm my assumption that Great Western Trains and later First Great Western services to Fishguard Harbour were run by Intercity 125s. However I have found no images or writen articles that confirm this, so have Intercity 125s actually been used on the Fishguard service or is my assumption incorrect? If these trains have been used on Fishguard services was that a regular occourance at the time? Also, and I doubt this, did BR ever use Intercity 125s on the service? In an old photograph I have seen of Fishguard Harbour station (from GWR times) the station was very busy, therefore I assume the line was double track right through to Whitland, and beyond, at the time. However, I travel to college passing alongside the line in places and the bridges don't appear wide enough for double track, have the original bridges been replaced with single track ones?
