43180 & 66005 Severn Tunnel Junction 20 September 2008

43180 passes the site of Severn Tunnel Junction motive power depot on 20 September 2008 with the 1L42 08:29 Swansea to Paddington First Great Western service. Whereas in previous years the area behind the HST would be occupied by lines of Class 37s and 47s on a weekend, today a solitary Class 66 (66005) sits at the entrance to the former depot. EWS are obviously not a very environmentally conscious company, for although there was no sign of it moving, the 'shed's' engine was running continuously.
