43171, GW 13.00 Bristol Temple Meads-London Paddington (1A18), Bath Spa station 
 The 1A18 13.00 Bristol to Paddington FGW HST service arrives at Bath Spa station. The train is being led by power car 43171 that was one of the last tranche of HSTs delivered during the summer of 1982 as part of set 254045 for use on the NE/SW route replacing locomotive-hauled services. This view of Bath station is set to change over the next couple of years with the arrival of electrification that will allow new high-speed electric trains to run between Paddington and Bristol. However, at the time of writing this is incredibly delayed so it may be a while yet until the venerable HSTs are replaced.
