Penzance HST's

Good Morning Keith,
Recent pictures of HSTs in different livery reminded me of 20th August 2016 when I was perched on the sea wall at Penzance, photographing Ringed Plovers, when along the line came a bird of unexpected plumage in the form of a Cross Country HST.
I'm not primarily a train-spotter nor much cop at numbers but it seemed unusual at the time and I don't seem to have recorded another similar substitution.
Regards to all, Brian
Many thanks indeed Brian - smashing pictures of an event which we never thought we'd see again.
