 Celebrity Intercity Swallow painted 43185 recently named 'Great Western' brings up the rear of the 13.36 London Paddington to Cheltenham 1G38 working as it leaves Swindon. 43185 was a reasonably late power car introduced to supplement the fleet on the recently introduced north east to south west route in the summer of 1982. To mark the HST 40 celebrations it was give the Intercity Swallow livery that was carried from the early 1990s and put on display at the NRM at York along with 43002 in BR blue on 02.10.16. Incidentally, when first introduced the livery was called 'Intercity Executive' with no side swallow logo. Only later did it become 'Intercity Swallow'....now, where did I leave my anorak?
