Bristol Temple Meads- Typs Junction
Today I was thinking about one of my favourite train stations, Bristol Temple Meads.
I looked up some photos from the days back when the station was filled of British Rail HSTs and smaller units.
I found some photos and saw what sort of place it was 10-20years ago.
One photo was a picture of a Virgin Voyager going through Bristol Temple Meads, this really made me think...
Virgin trains don't go into Bristol.
After a bit of research though I found this on Wikipedia:
The Class 220 Voyager was built to operate Cross Country intercity services. 34 four-car sets were built between 2000 and 2001 and operated by Virgin Trains. With Virgin's loss of the Cross Country franchise, these were all transferred to the new operator CrossCountry in November 2007.
The thing is that CrossCountry trains do go into Bristol so it must of been at the time of the change of hands or maybe Virgin operated Voyager services into Bristol, though I found a picture of a 5-car unit with red sideboards on a line in Bristol (that picture is attached) on google earth. So that might of been a Virgin Voyager. Virgin Trains is my favourite operator followed bro GWR. What do you think?
Please take a look at the pictures I found on the internet- they are attached to this post.
