The first female MP in the House of Commons has been honoured by GWR.

Nancy Astor won the seat 100 years ago in a by-election and will now be the name of one of the new intercity express trains.

She was nominated as part of GWR's search for 100 Great Westerners.

The naming ceremony took place at Paddington where several members of the Astor family boarded the train to Plymouth for the unveiling of her statue.
