800026 & 800003 South Marston 9 May 2024

800026 is the first of the Class 800/0 fleet to have its original green vinyl wrap replaced by a coat of green paint. The 36 members of the 800/0 subclass were easily identifiable from the rest of the 800s and the Class 802s, as their original white livery could be seen around the doors, where the vinyl wrap ended. The difference can be seen here, as the white around the doors of the rear unit (800003 Queen Elizabeth II) can be seen, even at this distance. The train is the 1L12 07:23 Carmarthen to Paddington GWR service, pictured passing South Marston on 9 May 2024.
