A dark green train in a green landscape doesn't make the most exciting photograph, particularly in the middle of the day in midsummer when dark green looks darker than black. 43.188 and 43.187 were powering Great Western's only green HST set when they passed Burghfield Road on 1C83, the 13:05 Paddington - Penzance passenger, at 13:39 on 19 July 2016. By August there was another green set in traffic.
