Paint It Purple
43.024 and 43.191 powered the 14:40 Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington HST along the up relief through Pangbourne cutting on 15 July 2003. Although the new First Great Western purple livery had been around for a while, this was the first complete train I managed to photograph in the new colours.camera : Fuji S2Pro
