Sunday Mystery Trains From Ealing Bdy

A Memory of Ealing.

In 1963-1968 there were mystery trains from Ealing. They were not frequent but I remember in 1963 three trains. Also two around 1968. A diesel car set would leave Paddington calling at Ealing, Southall, Hayes, and Slough. It may have called at Langley I Cannot remember. You would leave Ealing around 0830hrs and go on long journeys. Typical destinations could be Weston Super Mare, Banbury, Hastings, Worcester, even Plymouth. One Sunday we went to Hastings, on the way back we stopped at Gatwick, and then Guilford. We arrived back around 2300hrs. What a day out. I remember Wolverhampton for lunch and then on to Bath and Bristol. You had to get a ticket as soon as a train and date was anounced, they flew out of the booking office.
Does any one remember these trains?

Yes..I do remember. We went to Paignton a couple of times and they were great value for their time ( and would be today I imagine). I remember going around 1973
