Suspect no wires at Hereford - might be those at Stoke Gifford, if that's where the stock originates?

[IndustryInsider]

Internal notes suggest it was overnight cabling works which overran.  Perhaps someone in the dead of night misread that as overhead cabling works?

That set stables overnight in the Down Siding at Hereford.  The one that comes up from Stoke Gifford now forms the 07:13 GMV^▸ (Great Malvern station)-PAD^» (Paddington (London) - next trains).
