802017, GW 11.59 Cheltenham Spa-London Paddington (1L74, RT), London Paddington station 
 The 11.59 from Cheltenham arrives at Paddington bang on time being worked by 802017. It is about to stop at platform two and is viewed from an excellent vantage point on platform one. It is interesting how one's sense of direction plays tricks. It could rightly be assumed that trains leaving from this end of Paddington are heading in a roughly south-westerly direction but a study of a map reveals that in this spot that they are actually heading northwest coming within half a kilometre of the WCML at Kensal Green before the lines head more of a due westerly!
