Paddington Station, view from platform ends
View westwards, out of the London terminus of the former Great Western Railway. I was at the end of Platforms 4/5, underneath Bishop's Bridge Road. Beyond the end of No. 1 on the left is Paddington Departure Signalbox, then the parcels station. In the centre distance two 0-6-0 Pannier tanks wait between empty stock jobs; Westbourne Bridge is beyond and in the dim distance Royal Oak (LT) Station can just be glimpsed. On the right, a 61XX 2-6-2T leaves with the empty stock of an Up express and passes Paddington Goods Station.
