| DMU Used | W16W ?& W31W? (2) |
Route :
| DMU | Route |
| W??W (2) |
London Paddington - Portskewett |
| W??W (2) | Portskewett - London Paddington |
Notes :
(1) Route confirmation required - photographed at Gloucester Central
and Sudbrook (in that order?).
(2) Confirmation is required as to the Railcar(s) used and, if more than one was
used, where they were swapped. The photo below at Gloucester Central of a
railcar bearing the ICRS headboard was stated to be W31W in an adjoining caption
however the Railcar in the photo is of the earlier body design (up to W18W). In
the photo album but in the photo at
Sudbrook the railcar identity (on the back of the photo) is given as W16W -
so was this railcar in fact used throughout?
