As HSTs were built specifically for long distance high speed work, obviously most trains that they operated ran with a 1xxx headcode, indicating express passenger. However, there were a few 2xxx local workings, usually run as fill in turns. One such was the 2B11 07:07 Bristol Temple Meads to Cheltenham Spa service in the late 1980s. It is pictured here, passing Quedgeley on 6 May 1988, with 43020 leading.
