In 1906-07 there was a through train from Paddington to Brighton


Was that a quid pro quo for whatever GWR service ran to London Victoria,
giving rise to the "Great Western Railway" lettering on the front of

No; I believe that the GWR originally had some sort of running arrangements
to Victoria as a second London terminus, though whether these were ever
used, I wouldn't like to say.
