43017, GW 13.15 London Paddington-Cardiff (1B42, 1L), Swindon station 
 My good friend and spotting companion Andy shelters from the miserable rain and watches 43017 pull into Swindon forming the 13.15 Paddington to Cardiff Central working. 43017 was a very early HST delivery as part of the first batch to be put into service of the GWML from 1976. Initially, it was part of set 253008 but in the general chaos of everyday working these sets soon got broken up and mixed around!
