What is this pair of services for?

[ABB125]

Good afternoon,

These two trains are running today:
https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O49854/2019-10-19/detailed
https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O49901/2019-10-19/detailed
They are a Bristol Parkway to Corkerhill C.S.M.D and Corkerhill C.S.M.D to Gloucester Yard Jn, both VSTP schedules.

Does anyone know what these services are for? My initial thought is a "set swap" between a depot near Bristol and Corkerhill, but I can't think what units would be involved in this (maybe voyagers for XC). Perhaps it is a swap of Network Rail plant?

Many thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.

Both ECS movements being done by ROG, 582j is due on Thankerton cam shortly if you have railcam


Edit: A source tells me it's two 156 units being switched over 156502 heading north and 156508 heading down south, don't know why maybe it's for prm mods or specialist work.

Ok, thanks. Maybe someone else knows why?

You should find info in this dedicated thread regarding Scotrail 156s visiting Landore for work on seats;-

This week end the movements which usually travel via the Marches are disrupted by Engineering Work.
