800014, GW 10.17 Castle Cary-London Paddington (1A61, 17L), London Paddington station 800014 'Edith New' stands on the blocks at Paddington having arrived with the 1A61 10.17 ex Castle Cary. Edith New was a Swindon born (hence the significance for a GWR train to be so named) suffragette who was one of those first to use vandalism as a form of protest. This included putting stones down the droplights of train carriage windows causing damage to the glass; I suspect that GWR would take a very dim view of vandalism to their new trains today but at least this form of protest could not be replicated due to the lack of droplights! Notice the waery-looking festival goers making their way along the platform. Try as I might I have not been able to find out where they were returning from, Glastonbury was two weeks previously!
