50008, unidentified up working & 50009, 15.20 Bristol Temple Meads-London Paddington (1A19), London Paddington station
50008, unidentified up working & 50009, 15.20 Bristol Temple Meads-London Paddington (1A19), London Paddington station Consecutively numbered 50008 'Thunderer' and 50009 'Conquerer' stand at Paddington's platforms nine and ten. Whilst I have been unable to work out what service 50008 had worked in from the West Country, 50009 had led the 1A19 15.20 ex Bristol Temple Meads. Whilst the two locomotives are the centrepiece of the photograph there is much else of interest. Back in 1981 taxis and other vehicles could access the wider spaces between the platforms making the onward journey for some passengers much more straightforward. In addition, notice the exhaust haze looking towards the light in the station's arch and finally, the fully loaded mail trolley to the extreme right.
