View ENE, towards London; ex-Great Western Paddington - Bristol and the West main line. Half an hour after the 15.20 Relief (see Image]), the regular Capitals United Express (15.55 Paddington to Fishguard Harbour) ran that day in two portions: this is the second portion, headed by another BR Britannia Pacific, No. 70023 'Venus' - a splendid sight.
