The magnificent elegance of Brunel's train shed at Paddington takes on a whole new look at night with the modern lighting that illuminates it huge cast iron spans. Standing, as it does every night, at platform one is the Night Rivera Sleeper stock that has just arrived from Old Oak Common depot. It runs into Paddington as 5C99 arriving an hour or so before schedule departure time. On this night, 57604 'Pendennis Castle' did the honours with an unidentified HST next to it about to leave with the 22.45 to Swansea.
