O yes, fun and games today!

19.30 Cardiff-Pompey terminated Westbury (ran 6 car south of Westbury using 20.30)
18.42 Swindon-Westbury (part of the 17.05[ish]) Worcester-Soton canned
22.08 Westbury-Cardiff retimed to 22.40 due to cancelation of 22.40


best one that I saw!
20.38 Westbury-Bristol TM▸ (Train Manager, or Ticket Machine, or Temple Meads (Bristol), depending on context), ran 8coaches vice 2!
I.e, HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)):
43124 and 43010, including Avoncliff stop.
BEAT THAT

HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) at Avoncliff is far more rare than an AXC» (Arriva Cross Country - about) HST considering it was common practise a few years back before the vomits.

Not the first time Jim Although the last time it worked that part of the service it was diverted via Melksham/Chippenham (I think) due to a fatality. It was formed off the 18.06 Padd to Frome/20.17 Frome to Westbury set!

But Valentas are getting rarer.
HST's stopping at halts is getting more common.
