43153, GW 14.00 Cardiff Central-Penzance (2C70, 30L) & 43040, 15.13 Taunton-Cardiff Central (2U22, 2L), Weston-super-Mare station
Andy and I have just alighted from the HST Castle
set to the right in this photograph being led by 43153 'Chûn Castle'. We had a slightly delayed run down from Bristol on the 14.00 Cardiff to Penzance caused by the leading power car shutting down at Temple Meads. It was soon restarted again once a couple of fitters atteneded. The train never quite made up its time arriving some thirty minutes adrift at Penzance. To the left, the rear of the 15.11 Taunton to Cardiff Central service is seen with 43040 'Pomeroy Castle' powering.
