To mark the 40th anniversary of the introduction of the High Speed Train, Great Western Railway has re-liveried two of its power cars. Here, No. 43185, wearing Intercity Swallow livery from the 1980s and '90s, departs Cardiff on the 10:30 Swansea to Paddington service. Seen in the same location was the other celebrity power car, the first of the production fleet, No. 43002: Image
