Taken on the 9th September, 67026 leads 2C67 0800 Cardiff Central - Paignton loco hauled service just a few weeks before it was withdrawn and replaced with a unit on the 15th October. The ensemble are seen passing Hollicombe, before reaching their final stop of Paignton. |

A couple of weeks later on the 23rd September... With just a few weeks left, 67026 tails 2U14 1247 Paignton - Cardif Central, calling at Yatton. |

|
67020 slows on its approach to Yatton with the 2C79 Cardiff Central - Taunton service. This service was introduced in late 2008 and lasted until 12/11/10. The DB Shenker loco hauled set provided a reliable service to cover for unit shortages. The introduction of class 172s to London Overground has meant that FGW are able to once again use units on these services. |

67019 awaits the arrival of a FGW HST from London at Weston-super-Mare before proceding with the 1616 Taunton - Cardiff Central |
|
|
67019 is seen at Bristol Temple Meads under Brunel's trainshed before departing with the 1721 service to Cardiff. The capacity of these sets for both commuters and cyclists will be missed! |

|
As the sun begins to set, 67026 draws into Patchway near Bristol with the 1700 Cardiff Central - Taunton service. Who would have thought such a service would have operated in 2009/10! |
