The last HST.
Not the best image I’ve ever taken but one more for the record!
GWR’s 43198 is seen passing a busy Royal Oak Station with the last ever HST diagramed passenger service to leave London Paddington Station, working the 18:30 1C26 service to Taunton.
Taken from the West Way Slip Road.
Unfortunately for the enthusiasts on the East End of the Platform at Royal Oak, an IET gets in the way for that very last important shot!
