Refurbished Class 165 Trains
I have collected these pictures over the last couple of days of the recently refurbished Class 165 trains.
Note.
- The copious luggage space for holidaymakers and schoolchildren.
- The large number of quality charging points.
- The good quality painting and decorating.
- Lots of useful accessories like litter bins.
- I found the seats reasonably comfortable.
They certainly haven’t scrubbed up like a thirty-year old train.
Ashley Down Station – 28th September 2024
Ashley Down Station opened today, so I went to visit and took these pictures.
Note.
- There are four tracks and two platforms.
- The numerous numbers of Class 165 trains buzzing around.
- I saw several Hitachi Class 80x and CrossCountry passing trains passing through.
- I arriving in and left in Class 165 trains.
- All the Class 165 trains appear to have been refurbished.
- The station has stairs and a pair of lifts.
- There is bicycle parking and a car drop-off area.
It is certainly, a station with a long list of features.
The station is also in walking distance of Bristol Rovers ground.
This map shows the two locations.
Note.
- The football ground is in the North-West corner.
- Te staiton is in the South-East corner.
A Bristolian told me it will be 15-20 minutes walk.
