One of several ex-Great Western Railway seats on Leamington Spa station and a modern train bound for Birmingham. Despite the decidedly non-GWR colour scheme, whoever painted this seat has taken the time to pick out the old initials. The open castings are very cleverly designed such that the GWR initials read correctly from whichever side they are viewed and puts the vintage at the earlier part of the last century.
