L410 (51387, 59497 & 51345) accelerates away from West Drayton station on 6 November 1986 with the 2A31 10:14 Maidenhead to Paddington Network SouthEast Service. On the right can be seen the Grand Union Canal which runs parallel with the railway for over a mile at this point. The canal predates the railway by several decades, opening (as the Grand Junction Canal) in 1805. |
