It's not unknown for that to run as a taxi. From experience it can turn up as anything depending what they can get to start at Westbury.

O happy days, memories of last year came flooding back, leaving people on the platform at Oldfield and Keynsham, 2 car 143 deep joy. Not sure what they used for the WsM passengers as the train divides at BTM.

Intersestingly our Guard thought the reason was stock being in the wrong place after Glastonbury strengthening the previous day.
