Intercity Liveried Class 43 on Great Western?

[SquireBev]

Evening all.

I've just walked home from the pub, passing Worcester Foregate Street, and looked up onto the embankment at an HST waiting to depart. Between the houses I could only see one carriage and the rear end of one of the locos, but I swear this loco was in Intercity livery.

There looked to be a red nameplate, but I couldn't make out the name.

Am I going mad? Have I had more to drink than I thought?

Help!
