With the crappy weather & flooding the UK has been experiencing it was no surprise to find that impacting on Christmas travel services, so for my journey back to my family in Swansea I made use of the delays to take some pictures at Paddington.   Nice of the Mail to pick them up for an online editorial piece.   Apart from a slightly longer route back to Swansea I arrived home fine, I hope everyone manages to get back to their loved ones ok!

And on the return journey back to London on the 27th we passengers had to contend with an absolutely rammed train.  Good job the post-war spirit held us through it – stiff upper-lip chaps!
