Our model shows the 4.35pm Birkenhead to Paddington service in the summer of 1930. This train was unusual in being comparatively short for a longer-distance express. The Programme of Coach Workings for July 1930 shows that just four coaches formed the core of the train once it passed Oxford. However, the train was clearly used to convey significant quantities of luggage and/or parcels, as the passenger accommodation is supplemented with two luggage vans, as well as a Siphon G that would normally be used to convey milk.
