We had about a dozen campaigners (including a strong contingent from IWA South London Branch) out on the towpath between Little Venice and Paddington Basin with leaflets and petitions, to catch the commuters on their way from their offices to Paddington Station.

About to decide that bad light stops play.

It started slowly at about 4pm, got busy just before 5pm, and bad light and rain brought things to an end just before 6pm, by which time we'd nearly exhausted our supply of leaflets.

A successful "curtain raiser" for the campaign weekend.
