45024 & 253010, unidentified up workings, Bristol TM station
45024 & 253010, unidentified up workings, Bristol TM station I love this shot, the new and modern HST sits in the bright sun just outside of Bristol Temple Meads' impressive train shed ready for a Paddington service. This puts the relatively old split-box 45 in the shade (literally!) The HST power car is 43021, this stayed on the Western Region all of its life until 2018 when it moved to Scotland to form part of their short sets. Steam heat 45024 had a less blest life being withdrawn 3 years after this picture was taken and broken up at Swindon during 1983.
