Dear Keith/Roger.
Karl's good deed for today. This week sees the return of what would be Network Rail's NMT HST diagrammed cycle to the South West, but as this set is in for scheduled maintenance the test will be handled by a pair of T&T class 68's hauling the Plain Line Pattern Line Recognition Train 2 (PLPR2), instead. The booked locos are 68004 'Rapid' and 68020 'Reliance'.
