This picture clearly illustrates the problems of photographing once the electrification paraphernalia has been erected. This HST has been caught in just the right spot between new mast that have just been installed at the eastern end of Reading station. It is arriving at the station with 43158 leading the 13.05 Paddington to Plymouth. 43158 was one of a small number of power cars delivered to augment the Eastern Region fleet in 1981 as part of set 254035.
