43186 Standish Junction 6 October 2012

43186 just catches the last of the late afternoon sun at Standish Junction on 6 October 2012, as it heads south with the 1L85 17:00 Cheltenham to Paddington First Great Western service. Despite the faltering light, I was determined to get this picture, as 43186 has eluded me ever since it had its Diamond Jubilee vinyls applied earlier in the year. After spending a considerable period out of service at Laira, I thought I might have missed my chance.
