43156 Shottesbrooke 10 October 1993

43156 passes Shottesbrooke on Sunday 10 October 1993 with the 1C32 11:35 Paddington to Plymouth InterCity service. Commonplace at the time, buy nearly quarter of a century later the sight of just a single power car in this 'Swallow' livery brings photographers from far and wide. Unfortunately this well known location near Maidenhead has been completely ruined by the staggeringly mismanaged Great Western Mainline electfrication project.
