LPPC DSL BW 1272 ‘….under ze bridges of erm, Ealing, wiz me…’ to borrow from French film actor Maurice Chevalier, comes a ubiquitous WR Brush Type 4 Class 47 (possibly 47136) early on a summer Saturday evening with an air-braked InterCity from the west. Still travelling at 75mph at least, it will not start to brake seriously until Old Oak is passed unless signals intervene. The train is about to pass underneath Ealing Broadway station infrastructure before flashing through the mainline platforms. Beyond the far bridge in sight here, is West Ealing station and the junction for Greenford. Keywords: BR, West Ealing, Western, Class 47, 47136, Passenger
