It must be sometime in 2002. From what I remember the Paddington XC's were 47's until almost the end of the 47's so I would think it it about August, September, October 2002 (Can't remember when Virgin admitted Operation Princess had failed I think it was towards the end of 2002).

So, so wrong Jonathan!
Taken from the picture's Properties screen: 23 April 2005, 05:45:06 EDIT: I've also got another picture of the Voyager which I thought I had deleted. It was taken just before the one you've all seen, not long after I'd arrived, shattered too, from a Night Bus trip! It's being uploaded with other pictures as I speak. Knew no-one would believe me...

And Yes VT did operate about 3 trains a day into Paddington and they were all 47's as far a Birmingham where an 86 sometimes took the train over but that was the "good old days" which sadly ended on the 19th August 2002. I will see if I can scan some photos of VT 47's at Paddington... |

Used to be some Wolverhampton to Paddington and Manchester to Paddington trains. Ran via Leamington Spa to Reading then down to Paddington, always 47+Mk2s. The Voyagers are stabled at Paddington between duties at Reading quite often, and always have been.
