At Acton on 19 September 1989 class 117 L424 (51362 + 59514 + 51404) passes with a Paddington to Reading local service. This wasn't the nicest place to stand with 4 very busy lanes of traffic behind the camera and probably isn't somewhere I'd go in 2023 given the OHLE catenary and less than riveting traction using the lines. Peter Tandy.

The footbridge on the down side of West Ealing station was a popular spot for railway photographers although not always the easiest place to stand on occasions due to one or two dubious characters who used it for peddling illegal substances! I spent most of a day there on 30 November 1989 and took an bagful of pictures including quite a few DMMUs on local trains. This one shows class 117 L413 (51349 + 59501 + 51391) working a Paddington to Slough service away from the station stop. Of interest in the background is the former GWR goods platform shelter now used as a partly-covered storage area. Peter Tandy.
