43128 Swindon 28 October 1992

43128 slowly rounds the sharp curve on the approach to Swindon station from the Gloucester direction on 28 October 1992. It is leading the 1A22 07:30 Cheltenham to Paddington InterCity service. The former Great Western Railway works in the background was undergoing extensive restoration work at this time. This view has predictably changed somewhat since this picture was taken. In addition to the inevitable radio communications mast, the small shed on the right has been removed, and a huge warehouse unit has been built just behind it.
