Love this one. It reminds me of staying at my aunt's house in Waltham St Lawrence and going spotting at Chalkpit Bridge, inthe early 1980s. A flask of coffee, some sandwiches, and a Kodak Instamatic. Loads of numbers and tones. Happy memories 😊
So many memories in this one. I started my railway carreer at Twyford in 1987 and I regularly walked all of these lines from Twyford through to the Reading end of sonning cutting, I also came within about 4 seconds of losing my life to an HST at Twyford, a very nasty near miss caused by someone elses negligance, it was like that on the railway in those days!! My late father also commutted from Reading to Paddington back then too.
This is pure 80s nostalgia. A wonderful piece of film. Well done, and thank you for the happy memories that have come flooding back to me. Yrs gratefully.
Excellent footage as per usual nice with no Meccano and spaghetti hanging up, plenty of Trams and Class 50's most enjoyable. I notice the DMU driver at 14.41 hiding in the corner expecting a brick or something to be thrown I'm guessing?
Yes that had not escaped me and my heart and thoughts still and will always go out to the 32 victims and all who were effected by the tragedy....You're most welcome Peter....Many thanks for your comment and for watching...best wishes...Mark

Which bridge was that? I grew up in nearby Cox Green......
@@markcf83 My aunt called it The Chalks. Not really a road bridge. Hard to remember back 40 odd years....

Many thanks Aaron...best wishes...Mark
Even got a cheeky cop of concord. D6700 hiding behind the lead 37 was a great catch to
You are very welcome and Many thanks for the comment and best wishes....Mark
Sobering thought , this video was filmed 4 days before the Clapham rail crash which in turn lead to in part the demise of the slam door stock
