PANNED PHOTOBOMB!
A Class800 photobombs my panned shot of Class43 041 'St Catherine's Castle' as she slows on the flyover to let the other train pass.
The Class43 HST units were introduced in 1976 and are officially the fastest diesel locomotive in the world at 148mph with a regular service speed of 125mph, henced named the InterCity 125. There are three Castle Class HST units in service with GWR who have recently announced their withdrawal "over the next few years".
The Class800 series were first introduced to GWR in 2017 as a replacement for the Class43. Due to the panned motion blur I cannot tell if this is a Class800 or 802 as GWR operate both.
