Due to the inadequacy of the Voyager fleet, Virgin Cross Country has to hire GNER HST sets for some Saturday services to the West of England during the summer peak. On 11 August 2007, 43107 Tayside leads the 1E46 10:32 Paignton to Newcastle Central service past Flax Bourton. This location is a footpath bridge in the middle of nowhere, and I fully expected to be on my own. However, I hadn't been there long when large groups of cyclists started appearing, until eventually the bridge was packed! It turned out that it was the opening of the route as part of the Sustrans national cycle network.
