Last time I was at West Drayton was in 2008 when I was on my way to New York. The Novotel at Heathrow is just down the road. Great vid m8! A lovely spotting point for both trains and planes! =-D
Don't think so. Very weird to see very tiny trains on the fast lines. Once, I saw a 6 car train calling at west drayton, normally 166 trains that are 6 cars or more run semi fast and out of the London area.
Maybe the 9 car 166 train is replacing a broken down HST on a service to and from the Wiltshire and Somerset counties, like a Bristol to London paddington service passing Didcot then to Reading. I wish they can be used regularly on the Chippenham to London branch non stop express.

They use 165s/166s on the Bedwyn services mate and they go Paddington-Reading nonstop
166 + 166 +166 was caused by the last unit breaking down apparently :P
i went there when i was a kid
i got the 9 car 166 passing Didcot rail centre
Was is not in service, was it a semi fast train from Oxford or was it replacing a broken down HST?
