800310 comes to a halt at platform two of Paddington station having worked the 13.00 1L58 from Cheltenham Spa. I wonder if the well healed residents of Cheltenham appreciated the environs of the IET class 800 and liked the much maligned seats? Whilst the 800 are part of the inevitable evolution of the railways, I really wonder if they have the same kudos as the HSTs?
