While looking at changes from December I noticed that a Cl.80x is booked to do an evening round trip between Bristol Parkway and Weston SM.

What I hadn't previously spotted is that one is currently working a the above trains vice an XC^▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) service - not sure if the use of a Cl.2 headcode is meant to mean anything ?
Not sure why this particular pair seem to be the only train nationwide that is being covered by a different TOC^▸ (Train Operating Company)

Pulham's are introducing a new subsidised service via Shipston-on-Stour and Stretton-on-Fosse, the latter previously only having a limited community bus service, on 1st September. Some journeys have decent London connections, but by no means all.

It doesn't seem to have been publicised much, other than a pdf on Pulham's website - can anyone say who is subsidising it - a developer perhaps?
