BR in the 1990s Reading Station & Sonning Railway Cutting on 4th June 1992
Reading & Sonning Railway Cutting (Reading) on 4th June 1992
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of Reading Station and then Sonning Cutting just before Reading on the Down direction taken on 04/06/1992. Reading station as seen from the new multi storey car park offered a good view to the Eastern approaches of the station. From the high bridge witnessing the passing of HSTs and freight plus the passenger services still in the hands of locomotives also the surviving DMU services to Paddington and the Henley Branch all made a very few interesting hours. 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 other types of traction. Many thanks for all subscriptions and all of those viewers who have kindly shown an interest in my material.
