Description
The Great Western Mainline is one of the most famous mainlines in the UK, but how often do you think about the section between Reading and Didcot? Probably not much right? The South Westerly sections in Devon and Cornwall is the best part of the GWML? Well, that may be true, but the stations between Reading & Didcot deserve some attention & love too! Hence in today's video I'm looking at the facts which you may not have known about regarding the stations between (and including) Reading and Didcot! Enjoy!
