EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majesty and grandeur of the Cornish Riviera Express as it winds its way through the picturesque English countryside in the early 1930s. The train, hauled by the powerful King George V locomotive of the Great Western Railway, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, transporting passengers to the beautiful Cornish coastline in style. The Cornish Riviera Express was one of the most famous trains in the United Kingdom, known for its luxurious carriages and scenic routes. The train journey from London Paddington to Penzance was a popular choice for tourists and travellers alike, offering breathtaking views of the rolling hills, lush green valleys, and rugged coastline. King George V, the locomotive that pulls the train in this photograph, was one of the most advanced steam engines of its time. With its sleek design and impressive power, it was a fitting companion for the prestigious Cornish Riviera Express. The locomotive's distinctive livery, adorned with the Great Western Railway crest, adds to the sense of history and tradition that surrounds this iconic train. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era of rail travel, a time when journeys were an adventure in themselves, and the simple pleasure of watching the world go by from the comfort of a train window was enough to make even the longest journeys seem delightful. Today, the legacy of the Cornish Riviera Express and the King George V locomotive lives on, inspiring a new generation of railway enthusiasts and reminding us of the romance and charm of steam train travel.
