I could certainly be wrong about this, as I am only going on what I have seen posted on these forums, but I believe the short swing link bogies would only be required because of gauging issues on the Netley line, and not because of the third rail. Haven't HSTs run Cardiff-Portsmouth during special events by reversing at Eastleigh before?
The short swing link bogie factor came into play when they worked the Weymouth Wizard so it is nothing to with Netley.
