This slightly wonky picture, which might not make the cut in a non-lockdown era, captures a slice of life at another station which oozed character in the 80s but has since been crushed into lifeless conformity by development, This scene at Paddington is exactly the kind of thing a Southern Region escapee went there for. 47613 and Class 128 Driving Motor Luggage Van 55991 are seen in BR blue. The DMLV would later be painted in Post Office Red. 861418_190986E

'Gromit Unleashed' is a public art event to be held in Bristol over the summer of 2013. It is in aid of the Bristol Childrens Hospital. 80 Gromits around Bristol and further afield have been decorated by celebrities and will be auctioned at the end of the event. This example is simply 'Gromit' by Aardman Animations. In this mind-bending crossover between railway photography and public art, I make a reference to one of my 1980s pictures taken at Waterloo (currently only on Flickr). At Paddington in 2013, Gromit met Heathrow Express as the event reached the station. X20_DSCF1751
