166207 Abbotswood 5 September 2023

166207 is one of the last DMUs still in First Great Western blue livery, eight years after GWR introduced their uninspiring dark green colour scheme. It is pictured here passing the stubble fields at Abbotswood on 5 September 2023 with the 2T61 09:00 Worcester Shrub Hill to Bristol Temple Meads GWR service. It is probably just a matter of weeks before it is called to Wolverton for refurbishment, from which it will emerge looking as drab as the rest of the fleet.
