First Great Western are attempting to overcome problems with overcrowding by using hired in locos and coaches. A commendable move; even if class 67's are not my personal favourites, at least it's loco haulage so worth a bash.
24th November saw FGW run an dditional loco hauled service from Westbury to Cardiff due to rugby; the stock is seen here shortly after arriving at Westbury.
