43126 wore this unusual and very distinctive livery for quite sometime after the Bristol 2015 European Green Capital award had been given. It certainly made it an instantly recognisable power car! It is seen here passing just west of Steventon with the 13.30 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads. 43126 was an early member of the third Western Region batch of HSTs, being initially part of set 253028 that was introduced in the summer of 1979.
