Passing through Newport station in South Wales, using a line more frequently used by freight services is a First Great Western HST led by powercar 43027 on an extra service to Cardiff Central for Rugby Union's <i>Heineken Cup</i> final between Munster and Biarritz at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.<br>
In the consist of this service were two of the the newly refurbished mark 3 coaches, the 1st class carriage (number 41003I think) is immediately behind the powercar.
