I wonder if someone could help me.
I wish to travel from Reading to Kidderminster on the morning of Friday 6th (Good Friday)
Does anyone know if the FGW▸ (First Great Western) service running at 09:52 to Worcester would be an HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)), or something else ?
I once ended up on a Turbo all the way from Malvern to Reading and would prefer not to repeat the experience (and would take a Cross-country via Brum instead).

TIA▸ ('thanks in advance'),

It'll be a Turbo, though not too heavily loaded after Oxford, and it's one of the quickest services of the day.  If you want a HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) then go for the previous or following service (both Hereford's).
