Can't supply much information as it took me by surprise and I only got a quick glance. Went through at about 8.10 p.m. heading in the Parkway direction and had only one or two carriages.

Can't see anything listed unless it was something to do with the Bristol to Southall loco movement running several hours late?

Could it be Tangmere, it may be involved in a tour to Weymouth.

Delayed perhaps?

Edited to add - forget this theory. Already reported as running on time out of Bristol on another thread

No. 34067 reported through Trowbridge at 11:08 en route to Yeovil. Maybe a test run for the King? <BJ>

Many thanks. Pity I wasn't ready for it as there was a good photo opportunity but one can't always be looking out of the window!
