GWR London-Penzance train features Paddington Bear livery

The cast of the upcoming Paddington in Peru unveiled special livery on a Great Western Railway (GWR) train that will travel through Devon and Cornwall.

Paddington in Peru, which stars Hugh Bonneville, Emily Mortimer, Madeleine Harris and Samuel Joslin, is to be released in theatres on Friday.

The stars clambered aboard the train as it made its inaugural journey to Newbury in Berkshire, birthplace of Michael Bond, author of the children’s stories.

GWR’s sales and marketing director Amanda Burns said: “We might not travel as far as Peru, but you might just find the Paddington in Peru Express travelling to the likes of Penzance, Plymouth and Pershore.”
