Thanks for the video. Taunton is my home town, I was born at Musgrove Park Hospital. Now live in Georgia, USA.

Bit of a contrast there Taunton and Georgia. Are you Atlanta?

[@ldkellandshaw]

@@ds1868 ABout an hour NE of Atlanta. About 20 minutes from the SC border.

On a diversion! Was the B&H closed? Quite unusual to go Chippenham - Westbury, you'd have gone via Melksham.

Does every seat in the train have usb ports

[@luketrainspotteryt2007]

Standard is a plug socket 1st class is 1 USB per seat on GWR And 1 plug

The Class 800 and Class 802 IETs on Great Western Railway do look the same. But what's the difference in them.

[@realkasumi5443]

802s have bigger engines and larger fuel tanks for use on the lines down towards Penzance. Other than that they're the same as the 800s.

[@realkasumi5443]

Actually I'm wrong. The GWR 800s also have the larger fuel tanks and the same engines as the 802s (they were just software limited for a while). The only main difference that I can see is that the 802s have resistor banks for rheostatic braking on diesel, the 800s don't.

How long did thus take ?

[@ldkellandshaw]

As a former resident of Taunton, it's usually about 1hr 45 minutes.

Did you beep with your oyster?

I had a paper ticket & was travelling out of London so Oyster wouldn’t work :)
