Trainspotting First Great Western Trains, Class 43126 HST Intercity 125, built in June 1979 and allocated to Landore T&RSMD (Swansea), at Didcot station on the 6th October 2004, displaying the somewhat bizarre and none-too-popular 'Fag Packet' livery introduced around 1998.


The FGW train livery was apparently nicknamed by some enthusiasts 'Fag Packet', due to its resemblance to the packaging of a particular brand of Dunhill cigarettes, while others say it looked more like a packet of Golden Virginia rolling tobacco.
