47 715 with a pristine coat of NSE livery and still named 'Haymarket'!! hahaha. just noticed though, a right-hand number and data panel. Also most of the HST coaches are Swallow lettering but the first two power cars are still in original Executive @8:30 an XC working (?) with all 1st class + RMB @9:50 the Executive power car where they forgot to put the '125' on!
Always plenty happening there especially with the trains to and from the north having to run there locos around the train or attach a different one on the other end! Hope you have checked out some of my other stuff!
Excellent upload sir! Cor blimey, when and where she started thrashing loco's along here ooof! That 59003 on the 'jumbo' was mad enough, then along comes 'our' 59001 Endeavour . . . Oh the stories uh, i wouldn't know where to start!!! . . And according to my calculations, after a bit of difficult research, i believe class 59/0 loco's have/had the highest ratio of female drivers of any type across the globe! (2 driving 5). . i'm off to meltdown again lol!
Agreed, this is all excellent footage from the 1990s! But if you really want to see video from the classic blue-grey era of the 1980s, you could try the channels from - MrDeltic15 and brian hancock - on here also.
@@paekokstationmaster5032 Indeed, looks to me like the 6V16 07.48 Dover - Morris Cowley (which she drove i think!). I painted a model of 47049 in that livery too!
A great piece of history. Now totally transformed.
Thank you and yes that is the price of progress unfortunately

Was certainly a great mix of locos and stock in those day's and I seem to remember plenty of 1st class stock had been "turned into" 2nd class!
Great memories of my times on Reading Station especially 47's on the"Network Expresses" and 56's on the stone trains. Thanks.

happy days , spent many afternoons there in the 70's watching Hymek's, Brush 2's, westerns and warships and the occasional appearance by Kestrel
Always plenty to see at Reading but definitely not as good as would have been for you in the 70's for sure!
Lucky!

Always loved Reading in those days as always knew you would get plenty and usually something different!
Good stuff
Thanks very much and I hope you are enjoying my other stuff.
Excellent this time from 1990 great stuff, got any from the late 80's?.
No sorry this is the earliest stuff I have unfortunately
To be honest if you have footage from 1990 onwards that's great, keep em coming I've really enjoyed watching you clips😁

The wagons at 7:16 look ancient!
Yes and I am thinking they are maybe European Wagons that would have come over on the train ferry?
