The next two days ... I'll be out and about on a Severn and Solent rover.  Any advice as to the service most likely to be class 34 powered (Castle or XC▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) HST▸ (High Speed Train)).    Old time's sake - main topic of the rover is to update my wider knowledge and library first hand.

I saw IE63 1527 Plymouth to Leeds HST▸ (High Speed Train) thunder through Longbridge Station last Friday (16th), which made me very happy as I sat on a train heading to Redditch. 

This service is due at Bristol TM‡(resolve) at around 1730.  It's not always an HST - 8 car Voyager rubbish booked for the job today, for example
