Default HST at Waterloo today

Today's unfortunate incident with the Heathrow Express threw up a really
weird sight at Waterloo.

As I was waiting for my much delayed train home, there on Platform 17

was
a
full HST set doing a non-stop shuttle to Reading - timed for 18:09 in

this
case.

Magnificent and it also made we wonder why they have never thought of
running these to Exeter from Waterloo...... (OK, perhaps yes, the old

LSWR
track was never really as good as the GWR lines to the South

West)......?

Only downside was I didn't have a camera to records this.......



HST as in the Intercity 125 used previously (and although limited

currently)
by Midland Main Line?




Looked like it - was in Great Western Green...
