New turns for GWR Castle HST sets as part of May timetable changes

GWR 'Castle' Class 255 HST set with 43192 'Trematon Castle' and 43198  passes Scorrier near Redruth on 20.6.22 with 2C79 1401 Cardiff Central to Penzance service. PAUL BIGGS.

The May 19 timetable change is expected to bring some changes to the duties worked by Great Western Railway’s last remaining HST sets - the four-coach ‘Castle Class’ sets used exclusively in Devon and Cornwall.

    I continue to be amazed that the rail industry cannot come up with a worthy successor to the class 34. Current replacement designs are inferior in so many ways from the passenger point of view.
