I have found this schedule on RTT (Which I believe to be the 50s, correct me if I'm wrong) which was scheduled to go to Eastleigh east yard, and then continue on on Tuesday to Kidderminster. It was cancelled at Bristol temple meads (http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/R03953/2019/04/15/advanced) Due to a "Train crew problem" But then formed a new schedule immediately after (well, when I say after I really mean before, as it left 15 seconds earlier than the original schedule got in?) http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O98936/2019/04/15/advanced . The timing load is very weird compared to the other one. "High Speed Train (HST125)" and if there was a train crew issue then how come it formed a new service that went to the same place? Does anybody know the real reason it got cancelled and why is is showing as a HST?

66714, 73107, 50049 & 50007 to be exact.

Looks like the driver didn't sign the booked route, probably one for GBRf rosters to explain...... New one's going via Didcot instead of Westbury.

The second one was set up by VSTP, the usual way of creating a schedule in a great hurry is just to pick whatever's going in the right direction as far as you can, copy the route, and change the times as required, adding anything else needed. Whatever ends up published will then likely have the same timing load as what was copied.

Thanks for clarifying this!

They were all at Long Rock for the open day on Saturday, and left Sunday morning I believe.
