Strange GWR movement - Worcester

[Pokelet]

Sat at the lights at Henwick LC yesterday I saw this movement go past.

Nothing unusual there, the turnback siding at Henwick is regularly used and was extended for the IET's.

This one however was on the running line that would go through P2 at Foregate St and on towards Droitwich and not go round the corner (as booked) to Shrub Hill.

Do Worcester GWR drivers now sign up to the Tunnel Hill turn back to approach Shrub Hill from the north?

Perhaps that move was unusual l( may be due to failure of equipment in one of the cabs or just to make 1st class at London end) but turning around sets via the “triangle “ that is Shrub Hill , Henwick , Tunnel Jnc , Shrub Hill ) occurs every evening during weekdays ( close to midnight )
All GWR drivers , that is for HSS and GWR at Worcester sign that move .
