HSTs - where have they been (again)?

[rf_ioliver]

Wondering the other day about the question where HSTs have been and a few places come to mind in that I have no idea, specifically the valley lines radiating out from Cardiff?

Has an HST ever made it to Pontypridd or further?

I guess Ebbw Vale hasn't been visited either (either in the modern form or in its freight days). What about beyond Tondu to Maesteg?

Already checked those, hence the question (which someone else asked as well).

ps: did one *really* visit Brighton as well?!

Ebbw Vale has definitely been done, as I was on it. 03.01.98 Hertfordshire Railtours - The Severn Vales. 43124+137. The only other thing I remember about the tour was noticing people walking the length of the train when we reached Ebbw Vale. I ignorantly questioned the sanity of these people, my Dad and his friends explained it was best to ignore them.

Ebbw Vale has been done a couple of times..... I am 99.9% sure I saw one in the early 90s when I lived on the line.
