A Gleaming GWR Express Train at London Padington Station

Looking good! A positively gleaming train at London Padington station waiting to depart on a Great Western Railways express service to Bristol Templemeads.

London Padington is, of course, the station from which Padington Bear set out on his world travels... (Or something like that?!!) Well, I don't know if Padington Station was where he started from but he certainly was there at some point... I once saw a picture of him there with his bag and a spare jar of marmalade for the journey!!
