At Ferryside on 9 August 2015 a FGW HST led by power-car 43004 (named 'First - for the future') works 1L86, the 15.26 Carmarthen to Paddington. Either side of the train is one of the few pockets of semaphore signals still controlling a main-line railway, being worked from Ferryside box and according to Dr Michael Rhodes excellent new book 'Resignalling Britain' this box will not close until 2022.
