HST at Avoncliff is far more rare than an AXC 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.

Hmm, not sure, but that is the set in question that was used for this 1 as well....
