So this happened today when I try to run regular GWE service. After inspection, it appears that the FGW mod will cause class 314 to substitute into the Class 166s that are supposed to be in FGW livery. HSTs and GWE livery 166s are not affected. The substituted AI 314s on GWE will be able to run in areas without overhead catenary, and will even raise their pantographs in electrified areas... This substitution could cause disruption since class 314 seem to run at top speed of 70 instead of the 90 or 100 of class 166. Any ideas/people with similar conditions? A simple way to check is to go to Reading depot at midnight. Class 314 is longer than class 166 and you can see that from the map.
Yes i have 314s on GWE too due to the Mod and i like it. But you are not able to drive it in the unelectrified areas, so you can only really use them for Greenford Services or as far as Hayes and Harlington from electrified tracks in Paddington (Not all platforms have OHLE). However the AI can Drive without power, and i have not experienced interruptions or problems with the slower Class 314 substituting. Maybe this brings more adverse signal runs in GWE.
