LPPC DSL BW 1276 One of the stalwart Southall-based WR Class 117 Pressed Steel 3-car DMUs (Set L413) after pausing at Twyford’s down relief platform on an all-stations stopper from London Paddington to Reading, pulls noisily away heading for the termination point of its journey. Soon, the characteristic twin plumes of exhaust will appear above the roofs of the vehicles, before the seemingly interminable wait whilst the next gear engages. These units bore the full responsibility of the WR’s London suburban services for more than 30 years and also covered all workings on the various London Division branches, such as that to Henley-on-Thames, the connection to which can be seen diverging to the left. Keywords: BR, DMU, Class 117, Twyford, L413, Passenger, Western
