EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to the bustling Paddington Station in the mid-1930s. The image captures a fascinating glimpse into the daily operations of this iconic railway hub. On Platform 5, amidst a flurry of activity, stands a petrol-driven Karrier vehicle operated by an industrious Great Western Railway (GWR) porter. This three-wheeled mechanical horse was an innovative solution employed by the GWR to streamline their parcel movement process. With its sturdy frame and reliable engine, this Karrier served as both a trusty companion and invaluable asset for our dedicated porter. Laden with parcels of various sizes and shapes, he skillfully maneuvered through the platform's hustle and bustle, ensuring timely deliveries were made without fail. The year is 1935; it is an era defined by elegance and efficiency in transportation. As steam trains whistle in anticipation nearby, our porter expertly navigates his way through crowds of passengers eagerly awaiting their departures or arrivals. This photograph encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to those unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes at Paddington Station during that golden age of travel. Their dedication ensured that parcels reached their destinations promptly while contributing to the seamless operation of one of Britain's most renowned railway stations. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, let us appreciate how technology has evolved since then while cherishing these glimpses into our past
