Recently re-engined and refurbished First Great Western HST powercar 43097 <i>Environment Agency</i> shortly after arriving at Bristol Temple Meads at the rear of an express service from London Paddington.<br>
Despite being the classiest of the many liveries used by First Great Western, the all-over blue colours seen here are only temporary. The neon livery will apparently be reintroduced when the senior management can agree on the important issue of the precise design and position of the wavy lines.
