800024 becomes ‘entitled’ !!!!
On May 2nd, plain old 800024 was granted a new title of ‘HRH The Princess Royal’ at a ceremony on Paddington Station, in the presence of Princess Anne, and a whole host of fawning GWR nobility. Her Royal Highness was joined at London Paddington by husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, who coincidentally is a member of the GWR Advisory Board !! Plenty of scope for advising GWR on a matter or two there then !!! Pictured today approaching Bedwyn Station, it heads the 1A77 08.35 service from Plymouth to Paddington. Bang on time as well don’t you know. I’m sure Princess Anne would be most impressed !!
