Title: network rail hst seen at rreading west 2 days running Post by: BerkshireBugsy on September 21, 2012, 06:32:59 Really the subject says it all. It is unusual for me to see this 2 days running - I normally only see it go through reading west every 4 or 5 months. Is something happening that requires the Banana train to travel the same route 2 days running? Just curious!

It was on its way 'recording' to Plymouth this morning, yesterday it would of been working to/from Old Oak, ready to form what it worked this morning.

You're correct not to take a flash photo. Not only is it unfair, it's considered to be dangerous as it might distract the driver within his safety role and taking flash photos on an operational railway is a huge "No! No!" ... I'm following up with that for other readers of the thread who may not be familiar with the "flash on railways" issues - it's not something newcomers would necessarily even think of!

Grahame although I used the phrase "unfair" I totally agree with everything you say...
