165117, GW 12.01 Oxford-London Paddington & 165127, GW 11.37 Oxford-London Paddington, London Paddington Station
A pair of FGW Thames Turbo units that both originated
from the same station approach Paddington travelling cautiously through the throat. In the background 165127 is working the 11.37 stopper from Oxford whilst nearest the camera 165117 approaches having worked the 12.01 'fast' service. In the not-too-distant past the fast services were operated by Network SouthEast using sets of proper coaching stock hauled by a Class 50 or a 47; those were the days!
