166202 South Marston 21 August 2023

Another Class 166 Turbo unit makes its last journey in First Great Western blue livery. 166202 passes South Marston on 21 August 2023 with the 5Q70 07:00 Bristol St Philips Marsh HST Depot to Wolverton Centre Sidings ECS. As part of the unit's refurbishment at Wolverton, it will receive GWR's uninspiring dark green livery. This was running 12 minutes early, which was a bit worrying, as the late running 1C04 07:28 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads GWR service was rapidly approaching from the opposite direction. The signal in the background is still on double amber, so luckily it was still a minute away.
