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.)

I was on it. It was a 165 and terminated at West Ruislip. The driver
checked everyone was off the train, but one individual seems to have
persuaded him to let him stay for the journey back towards London. It
left at 12:44.

Er, I wasn't on it. Whatever marbles I have left seem to be disappearing
rapidly. I remembered to put the camera battery on charge but not to put
the battery back in the camera. Fortunately, I was only halfway there
when I realised.

Will try again tomorrow. Maybe this time I'll head out with a battery
but no camera!
