A Great Western Class 166 drifts past the box and will shortly cross over, ready for its return journey. The unit wears the smart new/old GWR green livery, once worn by mighty locomotives of the original company. I am told that God was flattered to be associated with the GWR - it really was a Wonderful Railway. I'm not sure that He/She will feel the same about the current outfit.
