19 February 2011 Every Saturday and Sunday until 26/27 March 2011, First Great Western are operating a limited diversion of HSTs to/from the West Country through Yeovil Junction. This is a result of engineering work being carried on between Taunton and Tiverton Parkway. Our Shop is open every Sunday morning from 10am to noon - come and browse whilst waiting for the next diversion!!

Yeovil Junction. A pair of South West Trains 159 units has arrived from Exeter whilst a First Great Western HST pulls in from Yeovil Pen Mill (5pm)

At 5.10pm, the 159s having departed for Waterloo, an up HST runs into Yeovil Junction from Exeter to cross the waiting down HST seen in the previous photo.
