Cotswold HST

[metrocammel]

Hi,

Ive had reports (and a freind has viewed) a Cotswold HST is on the 1421 Brum to Penzance. This probably needs confirming as I have no ID's, but it sounds like real gen.

Ta,
James.

Warning this may be mistaken for a service train it may be confused with

43070 43087 Cotswold HST 1406 Small Heath, 5z20 Tysley to Bristl West via Chelt and BTM.

So don't be too disappointed if you try to get this HST and it turns out to be a Voyager. BTW It's 1412 not 1421 from BHM, details at http://www.livedepartureboards.co.uk/ldb/train.aspx?C=PNZ&T=PENZNCE+&J=199071&Y=D&R=0&A=0 but could just be a Voyager.

Twas'nt a rumor!!! The CR HST did run. I was told it was a test run (thanks for the Heads-up TM! 8) , but it came belting through Yate south-bound, at approx 1530. Hornby 43087 leading, with an ex-MML set, CR buffet and 43070 trailing.

Sh*t! Didnt realise it was in service, or id have gone down to Parkway and got a ride to Exeter or or summint :cry:

I videoed it in the end, (conditons wernt very suitable for stills) and ive uploaded the video to my Google vidm account. Itll be live abit later on.

In the meantime, heres a few 'shots' (scuse the quality, they are screen shots from the Video)

Oh Excellent, Im glad it was true. Any chance of a return run maybee?, Itd be good if it were a regular occurance!

Are you sure this was in service? There seems to be a lot of confusion over the matter :?

No, It defo wasn't in service. it was on a test run to bristol.

There was only one HST today and that was the 07.05 plymouth leeds, with a MML set.

Well can you see people inside it on your vid?

43070 43087 Cotswold HST 1406 Small Heath, 5z20 Tysley to Bristl West via Chelt and BTM.

There wont be, as its a class 5, unless its Cotswold Staff. If it was in service there would have been many posts on SWRG and RG and Such like

I saw a full MML HST set at Chelts yesterday at 0953 heading south, also saw the Hornby HST PC, an U'id coach and the Cotswold HST PC leaving Tysley at 1215.

Sorry its taken so long chaps, but google where having a re-organise of the site, adding more features etc. (note the left hand 'sidebar'). You can now download some of the vidoes (the more recent ones) and link them to your website if you want to (again, the more recent ones)! My videos are back online now, and so's my CR HST one:
