This is my tribute to 43019.
I started to take an interest in 019 after it was named "City of Swansea/Dinas Abertawe" on 1 May 1987. Only natural I suppose, as Swansea is my home town.
The quality of some of the earlier views is poor, but I have included them for their rarity and nostalgia value.
I wish to extend my sympathies to the families of those who lost relatives in the tragic accident.
43019 still carrying 253009 on the front speeds through Ferryside with the Fishguard Harbour to Paddington service on Sunday 20 Sept 1987. 43133 is just visible on the back. The weather was appalling all day, only to be expected I suppose, there were steam specials out in South Wales that day!
