Yep.

They usually cancel the xx:15 PAD=CDF & XX:55 CDF-PAD services to cater for the Cheltenham Gold Cup mob.

It's not a permanent thing, just like they'll do it for Glastonbury.

The haze you see from those trains won't be diesel fumes either.

Class 67s have been used in the past. Central trains used class 47s and 57s from Birmingham in the past.
