Just read in my copy of Rail magazine which i purchased this morning that First Great Western are planning on introducing loco hauled trains between Taunton & Cardiff to replace some DMU'S.
they are stll awaiting approval from the DFT, but proposed timings are:
07:29 Taunton - Bristol Parkway
09:13 Bristol Parkway - Taunton
11:05 Taunton - Cardiff Central
14:00 Cardiff Central - Taunton
16:15 Taunton - Cardiff Central
19:00 Cardiff Central - Taunton
Expected to use Class 67's and mark 2 stock coaches, although a Class 57 may be used if this goes ahead which i hope it will.
