Coaching stock for the First Great Western Class 67 hauled diagram were formed of three former Anglia Trains Mk2 coaches and one former Virgin Trains Mk2 The stock is liveried in Anglia Trains turquoise and white, with the former Virgin liveried coach also having been repainted into the same livery. Interiors still carried the former Anglia Trains orange seating. The former Virgin Trains coach has also had its seating swapped to match the other three. They were built at Derby between 1972-73 and contain 60 seats per coach. The coaches sit on B4 bogies and are fully air conditioned. A 4 coach top and tailed set provides around 210 seats (approx 60 more than the standard Class 150 unit) and generally provides an additional 360 seats per day on the Taunton - Cardiff corridor.

Coaching stock interiors vary so much over the privatized national network, thankfully some private hire companies have kept the best interiors! The internal appearance of the FGW Loco Hauled sets is basic but does the job brilliantly. There's plenty of light, every seat has a window and a table, and there is ample luggage racks throughout the train. Something which can't be said for FGW's own fleet of HST stock! This is an interior shot of coach 5998 at Taunton on the 2nd February 2010, showing the former Anglia Seat covers, and tabled throughout. (Photo: Nathan Williamson).

Coaching stock for the First Great Western Class 67 hauled diagram was formed of former Virgin Trains Mk2 coaching stock which is owned by Cargo D. The stock has been fully repainted into the ubiquitous and striking BR Blue livery. Interiors still carry the former Virgin Trains moquet seat covers. They were built at Derby between 1972-73 and contain 60 seats per coach. The coaches sit on B4 bogies and are fully air conditioned. A 4 coach top and tailed set provides around 210 seats (approx 60 more than the standard Class 150 unit) and generally provides an additional 360 seats per day on the Taunton - Cardiff corridor. Mk2 TSO 6008 (opposite) gives a typical view of the coaching stock type used on the DB Schenker passenger operation for First Great Western. (Photo: Brian Garrett)

Coaching stock interiors vary so much over the privatized national network, thankfully some private hire companies have kept the best interiors! The internal appearance of the FGW Loco Hauled sets is basic but does the job brilliantly.

Something which can't be said for FGW's own fleet of HST stock!This is an interior shot of coach 6008 at Taunton on the 30th September 2009.
