43124 speeds past South Marston (near Swindon) on 2 May 1982 with the 07:55 Swansea to Paddington service. Much has changed in this picture in the intervening years. There are of course unfortunately no HSTs remaining in the original livery and all the dead elm trees have since fallen down. However, the major change has been the removal of the side of the cutting behind 43124 to make way for the siding serving the giant Honda car plant which was built in the fields to the right of this view.
