The photographs in this collection are from the Paddington section of Peter Collins' Railwayman's View Book Volume One - BR Western Region.

LPPC DSL BW 1269 With the almost complete elimination of longer distance locomotive-hauled timetabled passenger trains, except for Northern and Chiltern Railways and the individual franchised railway firms that eradicated the role of an overarching British Rail, spotters are no longer treated to the occasional exciting sight of ‘foreign’ locomotives working off region. A regular ‘foreigner’ during the Winter 1983/4 timetable was a Class 45 Peak on the 13.07pm 1M14 Paddington to Liverpool service. Some time in Summer 1983 (possibly the10th or 24th June) 45131 is waiting to leave London Paddington. Meanwhile, HST power car 43008 (from set 253004) is idling in the adjacent platform. Given I rarely took notes of photographs, its amazing what can be found out from the Internet and social media. Keywords: BR, Western, Passenger, HST, 43008, Class 45, 1M14, 1983, 45131
