Hope this helps!

Heathrow Express class 387s
The first HEx-liveried, GWR-operated 387s have arrived at Reading depot. 387130 and 387140 carry a new HEx livery, nothing like that carried by the 332s (even allowing for the Tata adverts). Image available here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/pdeaves/47929913333/.

Re: Prisoner of War Camp Halt
