So I think I was the last person to update the spreadsheets. I planned to do this monthly but life stuff has got in the way so I probably won't have time before the summer to get back to it. If anyone wants to take it on send me a DM and I can sort out access. I do want to shout-out 1B76 as an excellent service as it's a great combination of the businesses of Paddington in peak time with dispatcher logic and the rolling stock/infrastructure of the time. Spoiler You are held on a red at Paddington for a few minutes while waiting for a path on the fast line that has been taken up by a an express 166 to Oxford. Given the top speed of the 166 in front of your HST this puts you on yellows for the majority of the run. I arrived at Reading 8 minutes late as a result.
If it hasn’t been suggested, 1B63 London Paddington to Swansea in the HST (2017 Timetable) is good, especially in the Farewell HST Journey Mode Spoiler: Why? If you do the Journey Mode version of 1B63, you are put in a FGW Powercar, with a GWR Green MK3 rake. Anyways aside from that, you get to race a 166/165 set out of Paddington, and if you own the Petroleum Pack, you get to see a petroleum train (don’t remember the headcode) pulling onto the GWML. Lots of chasing and passing trains aswell, quite busy if I shall say.
