FGW Class 143 No. 143618 is dwarfed by the loading silos at St Andrews Road while working a Bristol Temple Meads to Severn Beach service. The silos are used for loading coal into MGR trains, which currently only serve irregular flows to Aberthaw and Ratcliffe power stations. Class 143s also no longer work in the Bristol area, FGW having decided to concentrate them on Exeter local services.
