Probably a bit late to post this but tomorrow (Tuesday) I'm aiming to
get the 11.36 'ghost train' from Paddington to Gerrards Cross, as
featured in this article:

The question I wanted to ask, apart from if it's still running, is what
type of stock runs the journey?
(I'd like to open a window and take photos through the window (with a
very small camera obviously) but this is not possible with the newer
air-conditioned trains, as there are no windows that open.)


According to PSUL it has run only as far as West Ruislip since May. This
is corroborated by Chiltern's timetable. There's a 1044 from GER to PAD.

My (only-a-)guess is it will be a 165, ISTR these having opening windows.



That's brilliant, thank you!
