Bath Spa, Hitachi IET 800 003 'Queen Victoria' 3X16 (16.00 Reading TCD - Newport) 05/09/17.

My first glimpse of a Hitachi IET 800 class EDMU.
Running as a class 3 (thanks Trevor Maxted) Reading Traincare Depot to Newport seen passing 6E (very quietly) through Bath Spa station.
* 57 sets (36 5-car & 21 9-car) have been ordered to replace the venerable GWR HST 125's (24 are to be retained for Cardiff and Penzance services) and are to be scheduled into service from October 2017.
