Completing its one hundred and ninety-mile journey from Wales the 10.20 ex Swansea HST service arrives at Paddington. The train is being led by one of the first batches of HST power cars that entered service in 1976 as part of set 253008, 43017. This has been in continuous operation on the GWML ever since giving nearly forty years of service a testament to Sir Kenneth Grange's design back in the early 1970s.
