43138 Purton 4 April 1982

43138 passes the site of Purton station (closed in 1964) with the diverted 1A47 11:35 Swansea to Paddington InterCity service on 4 April 1982. The line here has now been reinstated to double track. 43138 is still on the national network, daily working trains at 125mph, but I presume the Hillman Imp and Reliant Scimitar on the right have long since ceased to exist!
