Yeah, it's bad enough seeing 67s, let alone having 2 of the buggers on your train!

The 67s were standing in the way at Temple Meads when I was up watching Lord Nelson arrive. It was a rather odd formation, a couple of EWS liveried coaches and Vermin coaches topped and tailed by the 67s.

Good pictures of the 67s, at Pilning by the way.
