HAVING been given your June edition by a friend who recognised me in the Paddington hosts HST farewell feature, I was the driver of 1L7, the 14.29 Swansea-Paddington. The coverage was excellent, but very emotional, and I was told Sir Kenneth Grange was aboard for some of the journey. I was even more proud to have the names Brian Cooper and Stan Martin on the rear power car as I worked with and knew both men when at Old Oak Common, and was a depot colleague of Brian. Learning from your coverage family members of both men were also aboard my train also hit home. That complete set from No. 43002, the first built, to No. 43198, the final power car, was so historic it makes me proud to be the last driver of that set in that format.
