That story's a load of bollocks. InterCity 125s, aka HSTs, are still in daily use on the Midland Main Line, the East Coast Main Line, and several other routes. ScotRail is currently increasing their usage on long-distance routes, using the very trains that are being decommissioned by GWR.
The BBC apparently thinks GWR is the only train company, possibly because the Paddington to Bristol route is the one the news editors' wives and children take to get to their weekend cottages in the Cotswolds.
