43138, 09.36 London Paddington-Cheltenham (1G21, RT), Didcot Parkway station
43138 comes to a halt at Didcot Parkway station leading
the 09.36 London Paddington to Cheltenham. My friend Andy and I took this 1G21 working as far as Swindon. 43138 has been a Western Region power car for its entire 39 year life (at the time the picture was taken). This has to be a record of service to be applauded and one that Sir Kenneth Grange can be proud of.
