    There is no reference to FGW on the Pathfinder website only the VT one.The previous VT specials have been in conjunction with FGW.

    As I recall, VT have worked with FGW on their previous non-stop specials from Bristol and Gloucester to Paddington, albeit not in a TOC capacity, so suspect that fact may be behind the reference to one tour in the FGW piece. The run on the 9th is being operated by DBS, who will presumably deal with NR, so in theory, no more to do with FGW than Cross Country's trains over the same route.

    OK, that's a good explanation. Thank you.

    On both the Bristolian and the Cheltenham Spa, the involvement of FGW included riding the trains on the day and monitoring other train movements to look for opportunities to keep the VT trip running non stop. Whilst the issues on Z48 are somewhat less you still have to keep the wretched Torbay and Weston Super Mare stoppers out of the way, so I imagine that they will ride this train back from Plymouth as well.
