43187 Daylesford 13 February 2017

43187 leads the 1P57 14:25 Great Malvern to Paddington GWR service past Daylesford on 13 February 2017. Both 43187, and 43188 on the rear of the train now sport Welsh dragons logos along with Y Cymro / The Welshman wording. The low winter light, and the fact that the dark green livery contrasts with the landscape, rather than blends into it, actually makes a fairly decent picture, although it has to be said that Great Western's choice of livery is pretty uninspired. This is the first time that I have used this particular vantage point, which is very strange considering it is on my local Cotswold Line. I have used the bridge in the background for numerous pictures, and even ventured into the field on the other side, but for some reason never before to this spot!
