A ScotRail HST in Gloucestershire! 43140 is paired up with plain blue 43035, pictured here passing Fiddington on 10 September 2018, running as the 0L46 05:53 Laira to Ely Papworth Sidings. Ideally I would have liked a picture of the leading power car as well, but that would have been backlit, and getting a decent picture of the 'Seven Cities' liveried 43138 on the rear was much more important, especially as this happened to pass during a brief period of full sun. Although the farm occupation bridge from which this was taken is completely traffic free, it is still not easy to rush from one side to the other to get both pictures, as the best viewpoint requires the use of a precariously balanced ladder amongst the brambles! |
