With evidence of Crossrail development all around, Paddington bound First Great Western Class 43 HST 43088 passes West Drayton on a Sunday afternoon. 200_2_P1050262

When recording the rail scene of today, much of what we see is, frankly, mundane so we sometimes have to try to record it interestingly. I am not and never will be in the league of Jim Knight, Gordon Edgar or Phil Sangwell all of whom excel at railway photography but I am pleased with today's shot of First Great Western Class 43 HST 43163 passing West Drayton at speed and wearing a promotional livery for Plymouth. I had about four seconds to plan the shot and did not use burst shooting. This single shot is SOOC except for straightening. 200_2_P1050261
