43187 Compton Beauchamp 25 September 2015

43187 leads the 1L34 07:28 Swansea to Paddington GWR service past Compton Beauchamp on 25 September 2015. The rebranded franchise's one and only (for the moment!) green liveried HST is still looking clean after five days in traffic, although the rather uninspired colour scheme still fails to impress. At least there are no distracting logos, or clashing colour bands, etc. However, this simplification has even extended to the removal of the yellow stripe that for nearly half a century has indicated a first class coach. It has been replaced by a virtually invisible thin silver line.
