FOR the third consecutive year, GWR ran a special ‘Poppies to Paddington’ operation on Remembrance Day, Friday, November 11, in conjunction with the Veterans Charity, to carry hundreds of poppy wreaths from across its network to be laid at London Paddington’s war memorial on Platform 1.
The idea was conceived in 2020 to ensure communities within the GWR network could honour our fallen heroes despite the restrictions in place around Covid-19.
