Now unbranded and with an uncertain future, an HST set makes its way through the Rutland countryside on its way for storage. The set is led by 43128 and is seen passing Egleton just south of Oakham. It was running as the 5L46 14.41 Chaddesden (Derby) to Papworth sidings (Ely). On arrival at Ely, the power cars were detached from the coaching stock and later returned to Brush at Loughborough in a back to back formation. Here they will undergo refurbishment in preparation for future use. 43128 was part of a later batch of HST delivered to the Western Region during 1981 and was, initially, part of set 253029.
