Channel: Rail125

Description
A very rewarding trip to the Great Western Railway Centre at Didcot. A stone throw from Didcot Parkway Railway Station the Railway Centre sits in the triangle of the avoiding line from Oxford to Reading, Didcot Parkway Station where the Great Western Mainline continues towards Swindon and the lines from Didcot Parkway Station towards Oxford.

The Railway Centre has a few running lines and 1340 Trojan (GWR No. 1340 is an 0-4-0ST steam locomotive) is seen operating the shuttle service with the Railway Centre site.

A look in the impressive Locomotive shed shows the surprising amount of locos at Didcot Railway Centre and this IS NOT ALL OF THEM.

A very good day out and a place I will be revisiting soon
