43010 Duffryn 15 August 1987

43010 passes Duffryn on 15 August 1987 with the 1B16 09:30 Paddington to Fishguard Harbour 'Hibernian'. At the time this was one of only two through trains from the capital to the former Great Western Railway's Welsh Irish Sea port. As the other train ran during the night, with an arrival time at Fishguard of 02:35, this was the only photographable one! A typical late 1980s scene, with a pair of InterCity liveried power cards sandwiching a rake of blue and grey stock.
