alphaline was a brand used by Wales and West,which in turn became Wales and Border and Wessex Trains when the franchise was split because of the differing end dates
Think its the brakes releasing too slowly on the leading car, you'll notice the second through fourth cars don't squeal so its not the flanges. Either that or just a rubbing brake, tho the sounds disappears so its probably just releasing slow.
Sounds like the flanges to me - that road looked fairly tightly curved. As for maintenance? I understand that due to the complexity of the leasing and sub-leasing arrangements on the FGW 158s that no bugger can work out who is responsible for them, and who should get billed, so all that gets done is enough to make sure that they don't blow up or fall to bits! You should travel on one of SWT's refurbs - the difference is just staggering!
So damn true, the SWT have so much experience with Super Sprinters, they look after them very well at Salisbury. And Jesus the thrash on them is getting close to an Arriva 150 thrash!
cool!

Yep, SWT know how to run trains (kinda), FGW couldn't organise a gang-bang in a brothel!

You haven't heard First Scotrail 158s. I don't think it has yet occured to First Group that you need to maintenance them every so often,

This applies not just to trains!!
That second 158 is one that used to be up here, and would often work the middlesbrough route. bit cramped inside!

I think thats either flange squeal or a draging brake - it seems to cure itself after a little bit
