The last few down trains from Paddington wait to depart
on a glorious summer's night. 43142 'Reading Panel Signal Box 1965-2010' waits next to 43138. They are going to Cardiff (1C36) and Swansea (1B94) respectively. At platform one is Andy's and my train west, the 23.45 to Penance, the Night Rivera Sleeper. We were looking forward to a good night's sleep in our adjoining first class cabins and waking up in Cornwall!
