Yep, it ran again today. Saw it heading into Plymouth, then back out again as usual. Didn't get the power car numbers, but was bang on time as normal.

Was spotted last night in Leeds around 2220.
Didnt have a Camera on me though.
Might also have been the 2205 MML arrival from St Pancras?

The set today worked 1648 Brum-Manchester and 1854 return, with around 35 late start on the outward. This was due to the set collapsing at Totnes with a 75 late arrival into New St, where it was borrowed for the Manchester run.
On arrival at New St at 2040ish HST was banished emcars to Etches Pk.

MY LORRRRDZ! A HST off Birmingham to Edinburgh? I want that! Thing is though, is that via the WCML or via York? Coming back on it would also be interesting...*Makes plans*
With the change on Monday then, is it every day next week it goes via Castle Cary, Westbury and Bath Spa? Or just Friday? Need to make sure, as I'm VERY interested in doing that, a HST via Westbury, off Taunton, non-stop to Bristol...1h 50m of HSTing via that route, mmm...
Any and all news regarding HSTs on VXC, please do not hesitate to contact me at all! If anyone could confirm the above, that would be great!
No its not, I believe this is via York, though this would need confirmation.

Pretty much all Voyagers to Edinburgh are routed via ECML
