Bowing Out
43378 and 43366 passed Stenson Junction with 1V50, the 06:06 Edinburgh - Pymouth Cross Country service on 16 August 2023. A month later the the Cross Country HSTs would work their final services, with the last few GWR sets due to follow them into oblivion a few months later. This would be my last photo of a Cross Country HST in service.
