43098, GW 07.48 Paignton-London Paddington (1A12, 2L), Swindon station 
 The previously open feeling at Swindon has been made to feel a little claustrophobic with the arrival of the electrification infrastructure. The over-engineered stanchions have spoilt the scene here and in so many other locations. Thankfully, at least these ghastly structures are not going to blight the scene further west from Chippenham (for the time being at least!). 43098 arrives, leading the 07.48 Paignton to Paddington via Bristol. 43098 was an Eastern Region power car when introduced in the summer of 1978 as part of set 254022.
