Proudly bearing that superb and lengthy nameplate , 7021 " Haverfordwest Castle " is in the well turned out condition in which her home shed at Landore was noted , their "Castles " especially invariably looking their best .
Express passenger turns for locomotives and footplatemen working from Swansea and West Wales would regularly mean a change of locomotive and crew at Cardiff on the Paddington bound passenger expresses , as it was just possible for the crew and engine to return back home to Cardiff later that same day without an overnight lodging stay for the crew , and without their engine going out to Old Oak Common after arrival at Paddington .
Turning ,watering and oiling facilities at Ranelagh Yard , on the approach to Paddington would , therefore , provide what was necessary for locomotives and crews on such workings from Cardiff , in addition to those from Wolverhampton , who would be in the same situation.
