43140 Crofton 14 December 2000

Golden winter lighting at Crofton on 14 December 2000. 43140 heads towards London with the 1A27 05:15 Penzance to Paddington 'Golden Hind'. As a result of chasing the remaining classic traction all over the country, prior to the mass introduction of Class 66s, I slightly neglected the local scene, so have relatively few pictures of First Great Western HSTs in this livery.
