Great day for Western's Reading August 1973.
Reading 11/08/1973 proved to be a never to be repeated day for me as I saw 24 Western's in action that day the most I ever saw in one day. It started at Birmingham New with Class 47 1547 to Reading, Loco's seen on the journey New Street, 192. 1740. 1844 1884. E3070,E3130. Tysley, 3956. 1925. Leaminghton 7603. Banbury 3968 1674. Reading, 08's 3807 3850. Class 31 5665 5824 5827. Class 33 6508 6533 6546 6585. Class 35 7011 7016 7022 7026. Class 37 6932 6980. Class 47 1547 1561 1586 1588 1596. 1716 1720 1740 1600 1604 1606 1607 1637 1648 1658 1659 1660 1674 1675 1687 1688 1693. 1912 1929 1935 1940 1041 1942 1947 1958. and Western's 1000 1001 1002 1006 1008 1011 1015 1021 1024 1031 1034 1036 1046 1047 1049 1051 1054 1057 1058 1059 1061 1063 1064 1068. I would like to say I managed to photograph all of those Western's but no such luck, although I did take a lot of picture's that never to be repeated Summer Saturday. But luck was still with me as I had 1008 Western Harrier from Reading back to New Street. A truly Great Photografic day out KC. Above is 1001 Western Pathfinder with a London Paddington to Paighton service.
