One of my most photographed HST power cars, 43171, sits at the head of the 14.03 to Penzance at Paddington station approximately half an hour before its departure. This could well be my last picture of an HST at Paddington station as they are to be finally withdrawn from the western routes in two weeks time and I am unlikely to return in that time. Notice Bertie the Brompton putting in an appearance to the far right of the picture!
