The colourful InterCity livery of 43185 Great Western makes the dark green coaches behind it look even more depressing, as the mismatched ensemble passes South Marston on 9 July 2018 with the 1A09 05:29 Plymouth to Paddington GWR service. Unfortunately on its next working, the 1B25 10:45 Paddington to Swansea, the train came to a stand near Uffington with the fire bells in 43185 ringing. After an 80 minute delay, the train was terminated at Swindon. I was particularly pleased to see 43185 on this train, as just a minute earlier 43002 Sir Kenneth Grange had passed by in the other direction with the 1C06 08:33 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads. I didn't notice this until it was too late, and anyway the picture would have been far too backlit.
