An unorthodox view of HST power car 43056 'The Royal British Legion' as it pauses at Bath station leading the 1C11 10.57 Paddington to Bristol service. The veteran power unit was part of the pioneer East Coast set 254001 introduced in 1978. In this view the train has drawn past the B6R banner repeater signal installed due to sighting issues on the tight curve to the western end of Bath station. Now this banner signal is composed of LEDs but in the past, it was a mechanical device with a rotating arm.
