GWR honours Captain Tom.
A train has been named after Captain Tom Moore in honour of his fundraising achievements during the Covid-19 crisis.
The war veteran has raised £29m for the NHS by walking 100 laps around his garden. The Great Western Railway (GWR) intercity express train 800025 will go into service carrying its new name on Thursday, Captain Tom's 100th birthday. GWR said the high-speed train would carry key workers to and from work. It said the naming followed requests from the public. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-52468187
