a Ex Virgin MK3 and a HST were heading to Gloucester Today pulled by John Peel, Fosse Way and Cam Peak.

By 'HST' do you mean an entire HST set or simply a Class 43 loco (the fact that you mentioned seeing a MK3 and a HST confused me slightly)? If you mean a Class 43, there are/were three of them at Reading (the ones which were stored on the WSR until recently). I assume it could have been one of those.

Another Bicester extraction...
43090 and 43100 (both SBXL) have been removed from store at Bicester and are en route to Long Marston via Gloucester, where there may be an overnight stop over, behind Cotswold Rail duo 47316 and 47813.

The Power Cars are that bad are they

Damn, my one chance to see 090 and 100 seem to have gone then...Unless they get pulled out of Long Marston for a TOC soon.

Damn I need a car...*Goes to DVLA website to re-apply for a provisional license*

Cam Peak, a power car - Mk 3 and power car are at Gloucester.

Not staying there for long though are they? I haven't got the money to go to Gloucester, and connections to Gloucester aren't brilliant here. It's more getting to and from HFD to home that makes it a problem though, what with bad connections there. As this is a bus journey, this restricts me somewhat to what trains I can get, hence the use of my own vehicle would be excellent, as I could leave earlier, arrive back later, without so much concern on delays.

ah well i was doing heads out around into stonehouse and i saw the two 47s and shot across to the other side so the other power car was behind the loco then

No idea, but they were accompanied by a pair of 20s a bit further along - also saw the CR HST Powercars (One in Hornby) at Tysley as well as an 08/09 with pure shunter thrash, it was like a fire!

 

[Mojo]

Just heard that it was there this morning as well.

20s are for snow clearance if they are from HNRC.
