Editor's Notes

- SUB PAGE & RELATED INITIATIVE CONTENT
- • The Great Western Railway was built by one of the greatest engineers of our time. • The last few years have seen the largest modernisation of the railway since Brunel’s time. • While this work has been taking place we have been ensuring we keep our customers moving. • Promoting the benefits and improvements customers will see as a result of this work. • Now we are starting to deliver those benefits.
- • Heart of the modernisation is the transformation of our train fleet. • Every part of the GWR network will see new or more modern trains. • Bringing much needed capacity and greater comfort for customers. • Our fleet from one of the oldest in the UK to one of the youngest. • 138 new trains, that’s 605 carriages. • Over 70000 seats on our trains will be on brand new trains.
- • Star of our long distance fleet upgrade is our new Class 800. • Launched on 16 October from Bristol Temple Meads • New trains are being phased in replacing HSTs. • Currently 23 5-car trains in service – eventually fleet size is 93 • Now serving Bristol, Taunton, South Wales and North Cotswolds. Operating on electric power between Didcot and Paddington • First 9-car train enters service in June for Gloucester and Cheltenham • First Class 802 for West of England shortly afterwards. • Entire fleet in service by end of 2018/beginning of 2019. • Generally performing well
- • Rolling stock upgrade not just about new trains. • First Turbo trains began on Severn Beach in July 2017. • Cascade has been expanding out now operating other routes around Bristol, including Swindon, Gloucester, Great Malvern and as far as Weymouth in the South.
- • Changes already making a difference to customers • Already boost to capacity in key areas • More improvements to come • January 19 timetable vital in starting to deliver the full benefits of electrificaion and new IETs • Also a new ad campaign to support and drive revenue to fill these seats
- Five trains an hour for Bristol Extra platform at Bristol Parkway – fast trains through to London
- Challenges
- • NR’s work to modernise and electrify the GWML continues at pace • 2017 saw no less than 6 major possessions • Carrying out a variety of work • 2018 even more causing huge disruption to customers
