Title: 43185 in 1988 Swallow livery Post by: LiskeardRich on September 28, 2016, 22:26:49 43185 has been repainted into 1988 intercity Swallow livery.
It is being unveiled at a 40th anniversary event at the NRM York on Sunday 2nd October. Due to move Laira to York on Friday morning leaving Laira at 0242, I guess to avoid being seen! Typically I'm not working on Friday morning or I would of gone out a little early to see it leave Laira, as when I work I start at 4am in Plymouth.
