Last week we went riding on a Devon Rover £15.50p Exeter St Davids/Plymouth and versa on the soon ending Cross Country HST 125 , I hear the one Leeds/Plymouth is September the 18th. Dave .

The Branch Line Society have a listing https://www.branchline.uk/gen.php Great find Thank You.

Would be nice to know what happened to the HST Stock .

I wonder if CS leave one or two unbooked as back up? I certainly think so , just like certain hotels doted around the network they say they fully booked up but they are not just in case there problems/cancelations on the network ,
