43028 has just arrived at London Paddington having worked the
1A81 08.45 from Penzance. This train has terminated at platform ten rather than the more usual one or two due to both of these being closed because of electrification works being undertaken. Next to 43028 is 43172 that terminated earlier with the 09.18 from Paignton. Having been one of 253014's power cars it has now been beating a path up and down from Paddington to all destinations in the West Country for an amazing forty years.
