This inaugural GWR annual Christmas ornament is more than a tribute to a rail icon—it’s a symbol of connection across generations. From children running into the arms of their grandparents, to loved ones reuniting on the platform, from students coming home from university, to siblings embarking on their annual holiday journey, for decades, the sight of the GWR Class 43 HST pulling into a station has meant one thing: the joy of coming together for Christmas.
