43190 leads the 1B56 18:03 Paddington to Cheltenham service past the site of Ashbury Crossing, near Shrivenham on 30 April 1997. During the late 1990s I was chasing all over the country photographing classic traction that would either soon be replaced by units, in the case of passenger services, or by the dreaded Class 66, in the case of freight. Therefore I slightly missed out on an interesting period livery wise on my local line. Great Western Trains took over the routes out of Paddington, and started painting their HST fleet in this attractive livery. Although of course I do have some pictures of this colour scheme, in retrospect, not as many as I would like, especially of complete uniform rakes, such as this.
