In the Kensal Green area on the daily Chiltern service that serves Paddington?

Right! Just before the 'turn off' to the GW▸ &GCR» at Old Oak Conman.
Oh, and the staff:passenger ratio was actually 4:1.

Did they all check your ticket?  |

My ticket wasn't checked on the Parly. The TM‡ merely told me the train was for South and West Ruislip only.
Then we chatted about the diagram and staff turn.

I hope we can agree to differ on that ... I much prefer somewhere well over 20 people per carriage. And I despair at how we're supposed to fill a 150/1 with 3+2 seating on the 21:08 off Swindon on a wet Saturday in February when the team was at home and the fans have long since go home. Mind - I did take a picture just like yours (but obviously without the top of your head in it!) on that train a few weeks ago. While it as waiting in Swindon .... then as departure time got nearer ...it became my kind of train. |

24 hours later, he is still on his own - but where this time?  |

Perhaps the staff at Paddington have built him his own holding cell to keep him put whilst they investigate his latest ticket validity

It is indeed. Quite how effective it would have been I am not so sure.
