Title: Something different at Reading this morning
Post by: Boppy on September 09, 2009, 09:51:23
Had something different to look at this morning whilst waiting for train in to Paddington at Reading.  (It's these little things that help the daily commute!)   :)

I saw a different type of train pull in form the West into Platform 9.

For those who know about these things it was 158590 on the front.

Boppy.

And somebody please tell me just how all the B&H photographers got to hear about 158950 on the grapevine when it wasn't even in TRUST until 05:00! Did it actually go into Reading station though? It should have gone from the west straight onto depot.

Nothing is sacred in this day and age of information technology.

Yep I can confirm it came into the station on Platform 9 as I overheard some station staff say to each other "Where's that going?!" much to my amusement  :)
