43010 Badgeworth 21 February 2019

Off for a break in Yorkshire! Due to the chronic unreliability of their Class 180 DMUs, Hull Trains desperately needed to acquire additional stock in early 2019. To the rescue came GWR, who just so happened to be casting aside their HST fleet in favour of Hitachi built IETs. Here we see a shortened set, with 43010 leading, and 43190 at the rear, passing Badgeworth on 21 February 2019 with the 5E19 09:25 Bristol St Philips Marsh to Hull Botanic Gardens ECS.
