The Power Cars have parted company with each other. 43185 working with 43181 and LA04 on 1A17 10 13 Plymouth to Paddington today.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---


43002 now emerged from Laira with a different partner, working 1A91 1534 Plymouth to Paddington with 43172 (Harry Patch) and LA74.

Slightly off topic but I was on the diverted Cornish Riviera from Plymouth on Thursday and when we went through Bristol TM, there were HSTs in the station in original 'IC 125' blue and IC Swallow liveries. What's that all about? I've obviously missed something as I didn't realise GWR had such things!

They were re-painted into their original liveries as part of the 'HST 40' celebrations last May:

Click 'view details' on the right on that page and you'fee get the details of what it was.

They have then stayed in those liveries since then. I've got no idea how long they will last but it's quite fun spotting them around!

Very much so Wookie.
I've seen 185 in Swallow livery a few times over the last few months but I finally saw 002 a couple of weeks ago near Rewe and it looked fantastic in the morning sun.
