47500 Compton Beauchamp 30 August 1991

Golden evening backlighting at Compton Beauchamp on 30 August 1991. 47500 Great Western is surprisingly only a couple of minutes late, as it is deputising for an unavailable HST on the 1A78 17:45 Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington service. The full set of HST Mk3 coaches has a BG van next to the locomotive, and generator coach ADB975325 at the rear, which is supplying 415V three phase power to the coaches. Apart from the GW150 green loco, the entire train is in InterCity livery.
