43036 approaches Iver on 19 October 1996 with the 1A18 06:32 Swansea to Paddington Great Western Trains service. As can be clearly seen, the fast lines were closed for engineering works, so all trains were using the relief lines. This was a definite bonus, as the early morning shadows would have made decent photography virtually impossible if this HST had been on its normal track. The bridge from which this picture was taken has subsequently been demolished. |
