43017 HTV West leaves Moreton-in-Mash station on Monday 11 May 1987 with the first HST worked 'Cathedrals Express'. Up until the previous week this train had been loco hauled, either with a Class 47 or 50. From the timetable change the train's point of origin had also changed, it now being the 1A17 06:20 Cwmbran to Paddington. I wonder if anyone ever travelled from Cwmbran to London, via the long way round of Hereford, Worcester and Oxford?
