800011 passes Combe on 19 January 2018 with the 1P25 09:54 Great Malvern to Paddington GWR service. Apart from the awful dark green livery, I think these new units are quite stylish, especially considering some of the hideous designs that have appeared recently (Class 380, 385, etc). However, on many services they are replacing HSTs, so they are following on from the most successful train ever to run in this country, so they have a hard act to follow! |
