Wokingham Station and Junction on 8th June 1999
Back in the U.K. for a while, I gave Wokingham a visit, mainly to capture on video an unidentified special rail tour, hauled by steam Locomotive 35028 "Clan Line" with the V.S.O.E. possibly heading for London Victoria from Bristol. Also featured in this short clip were a few of the regular North Downs services from Reading to Guildford/Gatwick and V.V. A class 158 passes under the footbridge, most likely from Portsmouth, (A good vantage point for both routes),..... Reading to London Waterloo and V.V. were still in the hands of 1963 slam door stock in NSE Livery. If you enjoy the video please like and subscribe. I hope the video takes you back to this period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read and greatly appreciated, but it is not always possible to answer each individually. Sit back and enjoy this latest production remembering all those now long gone Locomotive classes and skylines that have also disappeared. Many thanks to all subscribers and for the likes, also to all those viewers whom over the years have kindly shown an interest in my material.
