Unfortunately, with the failing light and using Kodachrome film meant that I was pushing things a little to capture an HST at speed with no motion blur. 43031 leads the 16.25 Paddington to Penzance service past Cockwood Harbour with the Exe Estuary in the background. Set 253015 entered service in October 1976 initially working between Paddington and Bristol and South Wales. At the time of writing in 2020 it remains in service but in Scotland as part of their super-seven programme.
