Longer train due to to a fault on it ... sounds like HST from a Frome terminator for (?) 2 x 165

20:38 Westbury to Bristol Temple Meads due 21:28 will no longer call at Avoncliff and Freshford.
This is due to a fault on this train.
Will be formed of 8 coaches instead of 4.

Would that thought that an HST could stop at the long new platform at Freshford

It can be many issues as you can use SDO at any station so it would have been possible. It could be to do with staff clearance, platform lighting etc. Also if it is the first time a HST has used the platform extensions no one would have an idea of what door to release forward/backwards etc.
