I'm trying to image what circumstances might have caused this... A Thumper in InterCity Swallow.

From Paul B-G at 2006-12-01 13:41:34 : Probably most likely if they had been converted to DVTs, as with the old Gatwick Express sets.
From at 2006-12-04 22:37:43 : Best livery I've seen on one, including green, blue and blue/grey!
From at 2006-12-04 22:40:10 : Very nice! Any chance of one in BR coach style maroon? :-)

From at 2006-12-23 17:04:28 : YES! AN INTERCITY 205! what about doing one in the new midland mainline livery! or central trains! or one! oh there are so many to choose!
From Robert at 2006-12-30 23:14:50 : This makes me wonder what the thumper would have looked like in Regional Railways livery, had these units gravitated north... Or even into Scotrail territory...
From PH at 2007-01-14 20:13:37 : How about a 125 or 225 in Intercity Swallow but with white doors to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act. They would probably have looked like that if BR had survived.
From at 2007-03-25 19:28:18 : Beautiful!
From David Kendal at 2007-07-07 12:05:43 : A dire shortage of HSTs? @PH: Nah, they'd have changted the livery completely - I looks a bit 1980s for today's world.
From j......... at 2008-03-25 20:49:44 : Come back to me Swallow where have you gone?
From raildonkey99 at 2008-08-31 17:05:59 : maybe it is going from Cardiff to "St. David's", the latter being the smallest cathedral city in the country!?
