43137 Newton Abbot 150 runs along the down relief line at Duffryn on Sunday 9 August 1998 with the 5A70 16:00 Bristol St Philips Marsh to Cardiff Central ECS. This would later form the 1A70 17:55 Cardiff to Paddington service. This view clearly demonstrates that the first incarnation of the GWR franchise (Great Western Trains) got the livery right first time. Although the dark green is virtually the same shade as GWR's colour scheme of two decades later, the addition of the white makes all the difference, making a very stylish colour scheme, unlike the almost universally hated drab later version.
