I suppose I can believe it, it is the Post after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Haha put pictures of a new IEP and a 158/159! Personally can't wait for these to replace the 153s on the Severn Beach/Local Services to Taunton/South Wales etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted June 28, 2017 Author Admin Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 A 163 coming?? Class 800's taking power from electrified track, hand me down 'locomotives', some of which date back to the BR 70's, the route will not see electric trains until 2020, this was either put together by a 12 year old intern, an old soak or a total incompetent.......

They are what's being cascaded from Reading, no idea where they get 163's from. Or that they are locomotives, or that the beach line will be electrified and that IEP's can take power from electrified track- very much doubt in this day and age any new third rail DC will be laid........
