I have Train Sim from 2012/13 and the Great Western is on there, but Reading station does not look the same at all, probably because it might take place in he past back when the platforms and station building were mostly brick-faced. Also there is no electrical catenary in that game.
The Intercity livery is a reminder of more interesting times when BR still existed and with it BREL & the BR Research Centre. Thankfully IC125 & IC225 are still around to show what was achieved so many years ago and on a shoestring. When the railways were privatised the government subsidy doubled overnight; pure political dogma. The same happended with the postal system when being prepared for privatisation the stamps were suddenly allowed to increase considerably in price. I like John Major but not his thoughts on railways.
Train_PlaneHub well the bridge has changed the drive way to the station is getting a railway on and nearly everyday a pendo stops at a red if you go everyday you must have seen me
Ahhh one of my most visited local stations! Great bit of action there!
A very good video enjoyed watching. Thanks Matt
Great quality. What camera do you use?
Excellent video 👌
The Intercity livery is the best livery to have operated on the British lines, especially on the Class 91 - sad its gone.
wow the class 43s are so quite now and no smoke
Awesome Footage Matt :)
Goodness me! Reading, then Singapore, then Beijing........wherever next?

Thanks Train_PlaneHub ima big fan
Please could you do Retford or Newark Northgate???
The newer GWR HST repaints, like 43093, do have a much better quality paint job than the first ones, I have to say. It seems a much glossier paint.
I didnt know that Intercity hsts Still RUN in 2017
Its just a special livery on that one powercar. There's a few GWR locos around in special paint jobs :)
Great! :D
I live round the corner! My local station!

And their endless stupid "May we have your attention please. This is a safety announcement".
I wonder how the staff put up with having to hear that stupid idiotic robotic voice intoning "great western RAILWAY" all day every day.
