The Mk.3 TGS coach is formed with the guards' van next to the locomotive at the standard class end of HST coach sets. The car contains seating for standard class passengers for most of it's length, with window bay used to create an office for the guard with limited accommodation for luggage and bicycles.
Following the FirstGroup's decision to buyout their partner's shares in Great Western Holdings, a decision was made to rebrand the Great Western Trains HST units to First Great Western (FGW). Visually this change involved the fitting of a new vinyl gold strip and colour fading as well as fitting new FGW logos. This livery was relatively short lived, with FGW introducing a variety of new liveries over the next few years which were more in keeping with the First Group's other corporate liveries.
