43183, GW 10.00 London Paddington-Paignton (1C09, 3E), Chippenham station
43183 brings the 10.00 Paddington to Paignton via Bristol TM
service into Chippenham station. This 1C09 is an unusual working as it travels via the GWML rather than the more usual Berks and Hants route. 43183 was a late power car introduced for the HST125 NE/SW cross-country services in 1982 being part of set 243051. The picture is taken from the truncated end of the redundant but largely intact old platform 1 that had its track removed in early 1976.
