An unidentified GWR Castle Class 4-6-0 approaches London Paddington Station with the up Cheltenham Flyer circa 1934 with a start to stop speed between Swindon and London Paddington booked at 71.3MPH. The flyer could rightfully claim to being the Worlds Fastest Train. A claim proudly carried by the trains headboard.
