With less than five minutes before its departure time, there is still no driver in the cab of 43177 that is going to lead the 15.03 from Paddington to Plymouth via the Berks and Hants line. 43177 was a relatively late HST delivery during the summer of 1982 when it was introduced as part of set 253048. Unlike its counterpart at the rear of this train, 43029, I have plenty of pictures of 43177, a number also at Paddington; it's funny how things go in this game!
