A baby takes full stock of its travelling arrangements from the relative peace and luxury of its pushchair! I hope that it was looking at the buffer stops at Paddington making careful note of the motive power on view. According to my notebook, the young person would have witnessed a couple of HSTs, three Class 50s and a 47 with some rather more mundane DMUs over to their right. This child, I would estimate (at the time of writing in early 2022), would now be some forty years old; I wonder if they still travel by train?
