Still at work on the Western, even though it should have been on its way to Scotland! Debranded 43138 passes Oaksey on 3 July 2018 with the diverted 1L88 16:22 Swansea to Paddington GWR service. I wondered why the planned move of a couple of HST sets, with power cars 43035, 43138, 43151 & 43182 from Laira to Bristol, and then to Ely, hadn't actually happened. It seems the vintage locos are still needed in the south (at least temporarily) after all!
