The first blooms of spring steam into London Paddington
The first blooms of spring steam into London Paddington, onboard the the GWRs West of England and Scilly Isles Flower Special in the dark early hours of a February morning in 1937, destined for Covent Garden Market. A prestigious and fast service, haulage was given to one of the GWRs premier locomotives, King class No. 6028, formely King Henry II, but newly renamed King George VI after his coronation.
Hard to imagine, but before the war there was practically no long-distance road freight transport, everything went by rail. West of England and Scilly Isles Flower Special arriving at Paddington Station in the early hours of the morning. February 1937

The First Blooms of Spring Steam into London Paddington
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting era of 1937, when the West of England and Scilly Isles Flower Special made its grand entrance at London Paddington. As darkness still blanketed the city in the early hours of a February morning, this prestigious train embarked on its journey to Covent Garden Market, carrying with it the vibrant colors and fragrant scents of spring. The responsibility of hauling this precious cargo fell upon one of Great Western Railway's finest locomotives, King class No. 6028. Formerly known as King Henry II, this majestic engine had recently been renamed King George VI after his coronation. With billowing funnels and clouds of steam enveloping its sleek frame, it stood as a symbol of power and elegance against the backdrop of an atmospheric station platform. In those days before long-distance road freight transport became commonplace, rail was king. The arrival of this flower-laden train marked not only the arrival of spring but also highlighted how railways were once integral to transporting goods across vast distances. As we gaze upon this nostalgic image captured by Daily Mirror photographer core71, we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time – witnessing history unfold through tracks and stations that have since become part of our collective memory.
