GWR Class 150 (Coach 1)

Great Western Railway is a train operating company that runs services from London to the South West of England and South Wales. The eastern limit of the network is London Paddington station. As for the western limit, I would say it's either Penzance or Carmarthen. GWR was formed by completely rebranding First Great Western in September 2015. FGW had started as earlier as February 1996, under the name Great Western Trains. Back then they only ran High Speed Trains (or Intercity 125's) on intercity services, such as London to Penzance. At the time, there was a separate company running the local/regional services that are now part of GWR's network - such as Cardiff Central to Portsmouth Harbour. Today GWR's fleet consists of the following classes: Class 08 Class 43 (or Intercity 125) Class 57 Class 143 Class 150/0 Class 150/2 Class 158 Class 165 Class 166 Class 387 Class 800 Class 802 Interestingly, GWR are one of only two train operating companies to use Class 165's, with Chiltern Railways being the other operator. They are also one of only two TOC's to use Class 143's, with Transport for Wales being the other one. GWR is set to take over the Heathrow Express service in December 2019. That's the train service that runs from Paddington station to Heathrow Airport. For this service, they are modifying twelve of their Class 387 units, which will take over from the Class 332's, which have been running the Heathrow service since it launched in 1998. In terms of future rolling stock acquisitions, they will soon take on nineteen Class 769 units to cover for the 387's that will run the Heathrow service. The 769's are actually Class 319 units that have been fitted with underfloor diesel engines, therefore making them electro-diesel or 'bi-mode' units. Curiously the GWR 769's are set to retain both their pantographs (for 25kv AC overhead wires) and pick-ups (for 750v DC third rail) as well as the diesel engines. This will make them 'tri-mode' units. At the time of uploading, th
