No idea! It was a yellow road that I found on an old O/S map. It could well have been through. The road does go to a place called Burghfield. Apart from the motorway, it's the first bridge to the east of Theale.

 

Can anyone tell me what the code - 176 - was for on 5029 when it went loco and coach to Carnforth please.

I cannot find any references to it.

Thanks

 

Yep, that is Burghfield Road. Dangerous bridge, narrow & humped back with no footpaths. Another NP member I nearly met, I was also on the up platform at Theale near the end. Strange you see these people not realising who they are. Perhaps we should wear name badges or something!

 

Well I saw you in that case. Not realizing that there was a loop line at Theale, I went on the down platform. I wondered why no one else went onto that platform! I was at the Reading end; we must have been opposite one another! At least I shall know better next time if I ever have reason to go there again.

 

In response to Interested Gricer's query,

An educated guess, to commemorate 176 years since GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY, was formed maybe.

 

Well done to all who oragnised this mammoth tour. Enjoyed all the photos and vids posted too

A couple of shots

Saw the 5 and Ollie go down to Bristol on Friday evening - very hot and some cracking evening light

There's more to railways than trains

A bit of playing around stitching three photos together.

 

Cheers Ralph. I can make out one join, about midway, where the grass changes colour. I have no idea how the software did it, all I did was select three pictures, all different focal lengths, and somehow it's joined them all up, and everything lines up.
