Going through some of my old photographs, I found one of a Wales and West Class 158 heading west along the SW main line near Basingstoke on 5th April 2000. My caption says that it is the 15.17 Wales and West service from Waterloo to Manchester Piccadilly and Pembroke Dock. However, I'm now wondering how a single unit could have served both destinations. Did it attach to another unit somewhere en route, and then divide again further on? Did it serve one destination first, and then the second one - although either option would have been a bit of a circuitous journey, especially Waterloo-Manchester-Pembroke?! Or did I simply get it wrong?
If anyone remembers or has access to the timetable at the time, I'd be grateful to know.
