43188 passes Shorthampton in the pouring rain on 10 February 2013 with the 1W03 12:42 Paddington to Hereford First Great Western service. Naturally I had not gone out in these conditions just to photograph a HST, but as I was there the picture was taken, as the rain certainly gives the picture a different look. My reason for going was 66551 coming the other way on an engineer's train.
