An express from Weston-super-Mare enters Paddington
View NW from the end of Platforms 6/7 as 'Castle' 4-6-0 No. 4084 'Aberystwyth Castle' (built 5/25, withdrawn 10/60) brings the 08.20 from Weston into Platform 8 - past a bevy of young spotters languishing on the platform and demonstrating a genuine need for the Jeans that later became standard garb for everyone of both sexes. Beyond the electrified Hammersmith & City lines is the great bulk of Paddington Goods. This scene seemed at the time to be everlasting.
