This train will no longer call at Oxford, Hanborough, Charlbury, Kingham, Moreton-In-Marsh, Honeybourne, Evesham, Pershore, Worcester Shrub Hill, Worcester Foregate Street, Malvern Link, Great Malvern, Colwall, Ledbury and Hereford.

Both driver and TM are Bristol crew who work the train throughout, so it seems odd that they ran it to Reading if there was some reason it could not continue beyond?
