6010 1955-04-24 Paddington
Peter Kerslake remembers "On Sunday 24th. April 1955 Laira's 6010 is caught by a shaft of sunlight as it waits to leave Paddington homeward bound on the 1.30.p.m to Plymouth, due there at 6. 25.p.m. I was working away from my home in Plymouth at Ipswich at this time having left the previous year and could not resist a shot of one of my old favourites, and how I wished that I could have been on this train rather than having to go back to Ipswich from Liverpool Street later that afternoon, following a day spent at a couple of the London stations, although I seemed to invariably end up at Paddington ! 6010 had been in Swindon Works from January to March 1955 having received a Heavy General Overhaul there so would have been in good mechanical condition at the date of my photograph"
