DMU set L127 (W55027) at Ealing Broadway. 30/07/84.
The Greenford branch shuttle 'Bubble car' is seen in platform 3 at Ealing Broadway station waiting to work the 15.25 to Greenford. The branch proper leaves the West of England mainline at West Ealing Junction but West Ealing station was never a suitable location to reverse the train at. Instead it ran through to the busier Ealing Broadway station where London Underground connections were also available and there was a turn back siding at the east end of the station between the relief and fast lines.
