HST (High Speed Train) 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.
