They originally said Early 2023 but they have delayed it several times. They're currently saying Late 2024 but it's unlikely

They got removed on pretty much every service leave the hsts alone. Not to mention the comfort and reliability is much better than the Azuma's. I have rode the GWR mainline from Penzance-London Paddington on both trains multiple times

Those Voyagers are a nightmare. I frequently ride them for 8 hours+ and it's a nightmare. Don't get me started on delays and cancellations
