802011, GW 13.38 London Paddington-Swansea (1B17, 4L), London Paddington station Passengers make their way along platform nine at Paddington station to join the 13.38 GWR service to Swansea. On this day the 1B17 is being worked by 802011 'Sir Joshua Reynolds' and another unidentified Class 802 at the front. Whilst a number of shorter formed units may offer a greater degree of flexibility I really cannot help but feel that double manning of a train to South Wales is not the best use of staffing and was this really thought through when these trains were procured?
