An everyday picture of a HST on the Berks & Hants Line? Not quite, as this is in fact the diverted 1G38 13:12 Paddington to Cheltenham First Great Western service. 43165 Prince Michael of Kent leads the train through a brief patch of sunshine at Woodborough on 23 August 2014. The black clouds in the background were unfortunately a sign of things to come! The train's normal route via Swindon was closed due to engineering works in association with the opening of the new double track section of the Swindon to Kemble line.
