HISTORY...for the moment at least! These 180s are undoubtedly the most stylish looking of the new units to appear in recent years but
unfortunately they have not been a great success.  First Great Western are currently planning to stop leasing them in the New Year
and as far as I am aware no other TOC is as yet taking them on although one should eventually. This unit was pictured at 
London Paddington in September 2007.
