43198 & 43002 'Sir Kenneth Grange' - "The Flying Banana: HST Farewell Tour" - 01/06/19
To mark the long life of the HST along this part of the network, GWR organised the suitably named "Flying Banana" farewell tour, with pioneer powercar 43002 "Sir Kenneth Grange" in her special BR Blue & Grey livery, and final production powercar 43198, which carries the names of Driver Stan Martin and Driver Bradley Cooper, who both sadly lost their lives on the railway in 2004 and 1999 respectively.
