43207 & 43239, XC (For GW) 12.30 Bristol Temple Meads-Swindon (1Z20, RT), Thingley ST890700 HSTs return to the Great Western Mainline again! After a break of some two years, GWR has been forced to reintroduce HSTs to the route once again after their new and shiny Class 800s had to be taken out of service following safety checks revealing cracks to their aluminium underframes. A CrossCountry set has been hired in by GWR with 43207 leading 43239 operating the 12.30 Bristol Temple Meads to Swindon shuttle operating as 1Z20 seen approaching Thingley Junction just west of Chippenham. Once at Swindon, passengers will change boarding an electric Class 387 service towards London. There have been questions asked about the possible use of the GWR Castle sets to run through to London but, according to Rail (issue 931), there are gauging issues now further east towards the capital.
