I have only got a few pictures of the 'pseudo HST', with generator van ADB975325 and a barrier vehicle sandwiching HST coaches, and towed by whatever spare loco was available (I only ever saw Class 47s). By the time the stock was painted into InterCity colours its use was getting less frequent, and now of course with privatisation there is no possibility of this kind of flexibility, and cancellation is the only option! On 22 October 1988, 47489 leads what is presumably (confirmation anyone?) the 1B14 09:00 Paddington to Swansea service past Circourt Bridge, Denchworth. |
