2C67 08.00 CDF» (Cardiff - next trains) - TAU» (Taunton - next trains) is running as a HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) today vice a unit!!

This is the service that stops at Pilning too, so the extremely rare sight of an HST stopping at Pilning was available today!

There were 2 HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units))'s diagrammed to be doing West work today.

One in Cornwall and one on CDF» (Cardiff - next trains)-TAU» (Taunton - next trains) to allow Cl150's to strengthen Weymouths and CDF-PMH for football fans.
