Three Classic Traction Railtours in the Reading area. 18/07/26
My plan was to go and film the DEMU 1013 around the Worcester area on Saturday night, but on Friday night when the confirmed times were announced the tour had changed and was visiting the Worcester area on the Saturday morning which I couldn't do.
I wasn't very pleased as I do love to hear the sound of a DEMU.
So I decided the only way I was going to capture 1013 on film was to get a train to Reading, which turned out ok as I picked up two other tours in the area.
Workings were at Tilehurst and Reading General.
37240 TnT 47773 1Z34 Portsmouth Harbour-Birmingham Snow Hill (following all station stopper)
33207+33025 1Z26 Minehead-London Paddington
DEMU 1013 1Z14 Minehead-Hastings
