The Classics

HST Power Cars 43195, 43172 and 43141 are lined up at London Paddington station.

 

The scene from 2017 is unlikely to be repeated as HSTs have been replaced by Class 800s on GWR's long distance services.

 

The three Class 43's have gone their separate ways:

 

43195 has been condemned and will be used for spares.

43172 remains in service on shorter, regional GWR services.

43141 has, along with 54 more power cars and 27 sets of carriages, has been transferred to Scotrail and runs on services between Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness.
