Literally having just passed an up Paddington train at the bend in the distance, at 10.32 5-car GWR IET no. 802008 approaches on the down 1C65 08.02 London Paddington to Plymouth service. This unit is "named" with two completely different names: one end is "RNLB Solomon Brown Penlee Lifeboat" and the other "Rick Rescorla". It seems to be a trend of GWR to place two totally unconnected names on the same train, quite odd really! And they're not even nameplates, so to me they don't count! This one was so dedicated at the Penzance Long Rock Depot open day in 2018.
