Picture of the Day
Due to a planned engineering blockade west of Bristol on the line to Taunton all week (commencing Monday 18 September 2023), there have been various diversions in place. Most of these were XC voyagers, but one exception was 2C37 the 08.35 Bristol to Penzance which was a 2+4 'Castle' HST, running non-stop from Bristol to Taunton, on 21 September it was formed of power cars 43188 and 43186 and is seen passing Westbury. This provided the first sight of GWR HSTs at Westbury since their withdrawal on long range services in 2019.
