Description
Paddington to Penzance during the Diesel Era follows the course of the Great Western Railway’s main line from London Paddington to Penzance through a wonderful selection of colour images from the renowned railway photographer Bernard Mills. The images cover a period of more than 50 years and date back to the mid-1960s, with the primary focus being the diesel-hydraulic era of the 1970s.
This first book in a three-part series explores the GWR’s original route from Paddington to Taunton via Bristol and the later and more direct line via Westbury and Castle Cary.
The book is divided into three chapters, each covering part of the route:
- From Paddington to Reading
- Reading to Taunton via Bristol
- Reading to Taunton via Castle Cary
Each chapter contains a series of colour photographs taken along the route during the post-steam era. A wide variety of diesel locomotives and multiple units can be seen working between Paddington and Taunton, including the iconic Western Region Hydraulic classes.
