During the late 1980s and early 1990s it was quite common for Summer Saturday holiday trains to the West Country to still have the DVT attached to the stock. Such is the case here as 47852 passes Alstone (Cheltenham) with the 07:31 Wolverhampton to Penzance InterCity Holidaymaker service on 4 August 1990. DVT 82152 is coupled directly behind the loco. 47852 is carrying an unusual livery variation, with wrap around yellow ends with black numbers, but no BR insignia.
