43189 Denchworth (Circourt Bridge) 21 October 1997

Transition time at Circourt Bridge, Denchworth on 21 October 1997. During the various livery changes that have effected the HST fleet over the years, there is always a time when mis-matched sets are common. This picture illustrates the change from the InterCity livery to Great Western Train's stylish colour scheme. 43189 Railway Heritage Trust heads westwards with the 1B24 12:00 Paddington to Swansea service. Note the unusual yellow backed nameplate. This was changed to a more conventional black, when the power car received First Great Western livery.
