43181, 14.57 London Paddington-Bristol Temple Meads (1U19, 10L), London Paddington station
How many people who visit Paddington take a second to
raise their heads and look up at the roof? The beautiful wrought iron work and timbering of the roof looks superb after extensive restoration by Network Rail. The station was opened in 1854 being designed for the GWR by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Matthew Digby Wyatt. 43181 sits underneath the grandiose curves ready to leave with the 14.57 to Bristol Temple Meads diverted via Bristol Parkway due to the closure of Bath Spa.
