Bristol Temple Meads 24.5.08

Apart from the Summer Special HSTs, It was a very poor day at Bristol! No 66s visiting the station or any freight infact.
However I had to make the most of the day and filmed plenty of Voyagers and units. Lots of New liveried Voyagers in action.
Note: Summer Special HSTs on a separate video later.
Note 2: 158769 in the new FGW Local Lines livery and still in 2-car formation along with 158745, I can see 158958 behind made soon!

If it's 'sad' Why did you watch it?

Great!! 5*

[hstman14]

That's probably another reason then because of a change in franchise

Because FGW got rid of a lot of their 158s and needed replacing, 2 of Silverlinks 150s were up for grabs so they got them (I think because of 2+3 seat formation). I don't know how Silverlink operate but it was certainly a good buy for FGW.

Thanks, FGW have 2 silverlink 150s 121/7 they often wonder around the Bristol area on local services.

I saw a National Express service at St Davids, bit unusual seeing that down south west. One of the power cars was a Paxman Valenta!
