37884 take the LAST TWO Class 315s to their Welsh Grave. 05/01/2023
I had been watching RTT over the last week to see if a move was going to take place on Thursday 5th as most do move to Newport on that day.
So as yesterday was another strike day I Drove to Radley Station and then trained it to Reading to catch the end of this British built unit.
Its great that one has been preserved by the 315 group.
The working was 5Q75 Ilford E.M.U.D. to Newport docks (Simsgroup)
