Trains at Acton Main line
A loaded stone train for the East heads slowly up the bank which connects the Western Region main line with the North London line. This provides access to the North, East and South across London. Straight on is the route to Paddington behind the photographer. An HST is seen heading west having left Paddington station about 4 minutes before. Electrification and the Heathrow Express link with the provision of overhead wires has meant this view is not possible now.

Brand New
Park Royal Vehicles built Leyland Titan T51 (WYV51T) turns out of Wales Farm Road onto the A40. Captured in June 1979 it was out on a test drive. It was delivered to London Transport's Aldenham Works the following month and was sent to Chiswick for experimental work in October the same year. It finally entered service in December 1979 at North Street Garage, Romford. This bus was one of the last built at Park Royal - the factory closed in 1980 after over 90 years of building London's buses.
Behind the bus is Leamington Park Hospital which opened in 1905 and would close in 1983. The corner site is currently (2013) open land awaiting development with a housing estate behind.

This burger restaurant just opened has three car parking spaces with car charging posts - and a rather nifty logo of a car with a charging lead.

Planing off road surface, Acton A40 bridges
Two adjacent railway bridges are being rebuilt. This is a section of the old bridge. Traffic has been diverted onto a temporary new bridge, and this section of bridge can now be demolished and rebuilt. Because the A40 is a main road into London two lanes of traffic each way have to be maintained while the bridge is rebuilt.
