And again, today, 4th December. This time 800305 and 802113 doing the run

The return working, 1P34 1518 Foregate Street to Paddington also has the two unit, 18 car, formation

Trying out repaired units? Belt-and-braces to improve the chances of a successful round trip?

I was on the 1757 PAD - WOF tonight and it was showing as 18 cars on RTT, but in reality it was only a normal 9 car train (GWR were correctly showing it though)
