The rebranding of First Great Western as GWR has been extremely half hearted, certainly with regard to the HST fleet. Just a single set was repainted in dark green in September 2015. Several  months later,43022 had acquired a new coat of the old livery. The ex-works loco leads the 1A09 07:12 Taunton to Paddington service past Challow on 24 February 2016. The suitably pristine power car received the name The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Diamond Anniversary 1956-2016 a few weeks later.
