43016 Pilning 13 March 1989

43016 climbs out of the Severn Tunnel, and passes Pilning on 13 March 1989 with the 1E33 12:06 Cardiff Central to York service. This picture is particularly interesting as it show three different HST liveries in one train. 43016 is wearing the InterCity Executive livery, which debuted in 1983, while all the coaches are still in the original blue and grey colour scheme. To complete the picture, the rear power car is wearing the then brand new InterCity Swallow livery, which had been introduced less than two years earlier.
