43012 speeds through the remains of the long closed station at Challow on 3 December 1983 with the 1A23 07:35 Pembroke Dock to Paddington InterCity service. Well over a quarter of a century later, 43012 is still passing this spot on regular basis, albeit now painted in the uninspiring First Great Western blue livery. Whilst 43012 is still with us, I doubt if the same can be said for any of the assorted vehicles being dealt with at Challow Station Garage. The garage itself has now been replaced by a modern building, and both the former station's platforms, which are still largely intact in this view, have also been removed.
