A long line of Wessex DMUs at Bristol Temple Meads platfom 7. 158745 closest to the camera is coupled to a Class 153 unit, these units spent a good couple of hours stabled here. A few feet further up the platfom is a Class 158/9 unit on a Cardiff-Portsmouth Harbour (or vice versa) service. It stopped so close to the Class 153 that I initially thought they were going to be coupled to form a 6-car train, although why a 153 would be inlcuded I don't know as it would lower the top speed from 90pmh to 75mph.
