LPPC DSL BW 0288 Heading into Paddington to complete its run from Weston-super-Mare is a two-tone green Brush Type 4 Class 47 number 1605 (later 47028/47559) in 1971. On the right is the huge Paddington Goods Depot which has now long gone. The train is the 13.40pm service that was due to arrive in the capital at 16.10pm, and is formed of the then-standard air-braked rake of Mark 2 carriages with the addition of Mark 1 catering vehicles and a BG Full-Brake. The stock returned to Bristol at 19.45pm after being serviced at Old Oak Common carriage sheds. Beyond the familiar girder-bridge in the background will be London Transport’s Royal Oak station, their electrified tracks being the two on the far right in the picture. Keywords: Class 47, 1605, 47028,47559, Paddington, Passenger, 1971
