Date: Saturday 2nd September 1957
dep: Birmingham Snow Hill 9.00am..R Time
arr: Paddington 11.24am..14 Late
Birmingham line trains had additional time added to
their schedules in 1957 to allow for disruption caused
by the Banbury station rebuilding, but 5075 would
barely have kept time anyway, with lethargic uphill
running. As it was 3 signal checks and a 15 P W slowing
made us 14 late into Paddington
