As I arrived in Newport about 10am on 20 June, this DVT (82.306) and 67 (003) came past, heading for Cardiff in Arriva livery. Aha, I thought, the Premier Train see image 39316 is a long beast, it will need a DVT on the back. Well no, it only has 4 coaches, and no DVT; while this combination came back through the station in the same direction about 3.30pm, and a different Arriva-liveried 67 took the Premier Train North that evening. Does anybody know this DVT's current duties?
