Cotswold Line HST sunset? The setting sun illuminates 43026 Michael Eavis, as it approaches Dunstall Bridge, near Moreton-in-Marsh, on 7 January 2018 with the 1W39 13:42 Paddington to Worcester Foregate Street GWR service. Nearly three decades after I photographed the last of the Class 50s working over the Cotswold Line, I am now repeating the experience with Class 43s! I'm not quite sure how a five coach DMU can be seen as an improvement over an eight coach HST, but the Class 800s will soon be the normal motive power on this line. That's progress!
