My home station, I used to love going here when I was a kid in the 80's and early 90's. I used to love the sound of Valenta powered HSTs, class 50's and the thumpers that used to go to Basingstoke from Reading. Don't get many interesting trains through there now, apart from the odd rail tour, lots of sheds hauling various freight, and also two of the 57's used for the Night Riviera. You do get some of the network rail stock through there as well, but usually late at night or very early in the morning.

Brings back great memories, Reading was always a great place to spends the day. I first went there in Half Term Feb '73 with some friends just after the last 'Warships' were withdrawn. Plenty of 'Westerns' and 47's, with some 'Hymeks' and 31's as well as Intercity Unit's, Pressed Steel 117's, 'Tadpole' units. Then later as seen here with 33's 37's, 47's 50's, 56's. Today not much. Still some great memories from yesteryear. Thanks for the terrific footage.

I remember Hood pulling out of St David’s with a proper inter city train in 1984. What a noise it made!

Did you go to burnham or slough or taplow in these days?

@OldOakTrains 3 ай бұрын
Yes I did, but only with the still camera, never the video unfortunately. We used to go to Twyford quite a bit, Hanwell and Newbury a couple of times. Wish we’d gone to more places now, obviously; but at the time I don’t think we realised how quickly that ‘golden era’ would be over.
