Cross Country HST Through Bath 01.02.2015

Hi all! Saw a Cross Country HST set power through Oldfield Park station towards Bath earlier today (about 1200), which I wouldn't usually expect to see! Anyone have any idea why this working happened?

Engineering works between Bristol and Weston-super-Mare meant CrossCountry services between Birmingham and Plymouth were diverted Bristol-Bath-Westbury-Taunton all day Sunday. Happens every so often, there's one XC (albeit a Voyager) that's booked that way on a Saturday morning for route knowledge purposes - 1C11 0608 Bristol-Plymouth is booked via Bath.

There's a Paignton to Barton Hill ECS on a Saturday evening too.

Thanks for that. Explains why i saw a Voyager pass through Somerton a few Saturdays ago heading west.

Not normally an HST but there is a weekdays 1S35 0609 Bath Spa to Glasgow Central which runs empty from Barton Hill to form this.
