With the Class 150s largely banished from the Bristol area, the far superior former Thames Valley turbo units are now operating in their place. This is the first time that I have traveled in the Bristol area since their introduction and it takes a bit of getting used to them seeing them. Here, 166212 waits at platform nine with the 13.44 departure to Frome. My wife and I took this stopper service all the way to the Somerset town where my mum and her partner live.
