In the video below, we see InterCity Executive liveried 43184 on her first CrossCountry services in its striking heritage livery to celebrate the 40th anniversary of cross-country HST services. The Class 43 was first revealed by CrossCountry in its ‘Executive’ livery on the 5th of July and was out in action the very next day.

This is the first time in decades that a HST powercar has operated a passenger service in this livery!
