See above, read all of the relevant notes and you will be able to work out its its an HST.

But saying that, god knows how many times the daytime trains get turned around at either Worcester SH/Foregate St or Great Malvern due to late running caused by congestion on the long single line sections of the North Cotswold line.

Also another trick is to swap an HST for a 165. You can always check on things by using FGW Journeycheck.

Sundays, the first train towards Worcester is normally HST, there's also a 1630 Hereford to Paddington I believe, possibly also 2030 Hereford to Paddington, but the rest I'm not sure on.

Bear in mind the above all used to be HST, but I've not looked at the new timetable properly yet. As The Exmoor Beast says, they do sometimes put Turbos on vice HST, most common on those to Great Malvern/Worcester. The 2059 Worcester to Paddington is most regularly Turbo vice HST in particular. As he also says, if there's heavy delays on the Oxford to Worcester section, it's quite regular to turn back early at Ledbury/Great Malvern/Worcester, although in all fairness I've not seen this happen in quite some time. Most probably due to the much more sensible turnaround times at Hereford these days.

Good luck getting a HST and enjoy the trip
