This is of 43003's Valenta Encore, filmed on December 30th 2007. We start at Didcot Parkway (having reached there with 43002) and decide to go to Bristol with 003. Both of us very tired, we didn't do any real amount of filming (plus too busy enjoying the thrash!) but I hope you enjoy the first ...

This video is the first part of several, a kind of mini-series if you will, of 43002's final days with a Valenta. This was filmed on December 30th, 2007, the day after my last video of 43003. We had received gen in the morning on 43002 and 43003, so once we knew we could make it, that was that, ...
