One small correction to DAS000994 if I may; 47080 is on an east-bound train and is on the up goods line at the east end of the station. You would have been standing on the old platform 10 (Henley/Paddington bay), whose track is in the bottom left corner.

If the caption doesn't mention it, then I've either missed it or don't know it - It takes time and effort for me to share them, please help with information when you can, if I spend my time identifying things that some can identify by sight then I'll have less time (and inclination) to spend sharing the photos - and I currently have over 800,0000 ...
