Bristol Temple Meads 8.12.07

An interesting few hours at Temple Meads, HSTs delayed and diverted via Freshford due to a line closure between Chippenham and Swindon, Voyagers delayed due to floods down south near Taunton blocking part of the line and Units well there always late! However the main reason to go over to Bristol was to see 47773 on the Candlelight tour to Minehead (Dunster) with a suprise class 33 on the rear. 2 Freight trains also appeared roaring through the station which these days seems to be a rarety for Bristol!
Not forgetting some 2tones.

It was a tour to Dunster, although it ran emtpy to Minehead. Then back to Dunster after the carol service (the reason for the train).
