43147 passes through the rolling Evenlode Valley countryside near Bruern on the Cotswold Line on 10 August 2007, with the 05:11 Abergavenny to Paddington First Great Western service. As is unfortunately typical nowadays, this train was running 20 minutes late. First Great Western has a very poor reputation for punctuality, to say nothing of chronic overcrowding. The service on the Cotswold Line is considerably worse than in BR days. Perhaps FGW ought to concentrated more on running the trains efficiently rather than gimmicks like new liveries (note the coaches).
