Description
Highlights from Didcot on an action packed few hours with a good mix of diesel locomotives, topped by 50007 'Hercules' working the 5V50 Eastleigh Traction & Rolling Stock Maintenance Depot - Reading Traincare Depot.

A large number of other diesels pass through including Freightliner and GBRF Class 66 convoys, as well as newly painted 70020 and 47727 ‘Edinburgh Castle/ Caisteal Dhun Eideann’.

Later we head over to Reading for the highly anticipated EPR stock move headed by 37423 working 5Z02 Yarmouth Carriage Holding Sidings - Bishops Lydeard on the West somerset Railway, as part of a private filming contract at the heritage line.

Also had the chance to chat to and meet some great people at both stations today, which is what it’s all about!
