Just a few HST diagrams survive on the Cotswold Line in early 2019, but on 24 January there was a bonus, when the usual Class 800 DMU on the 1W23 11:22 Paddington to Worcester Foregate Street GWR service was replaced by a HST. The reason for this was yet another signalling problem between London and Reading, so the train was in fact the 1W23 12:24 Oxford to Worcester Foregate Street. The following service was cancelled in it its entirety. 43020 MTU Power Passion Partnership passes Bretforton in the only faint glimmer of brightness during the entire day.
