1974
Set: L416
At one time rare in Hereford, Reading based sets began to appear regularly with the start of a through train from Oxford in the early 70s. Here L416 runs into the "up" platform, ready for the return run. The tail-lamp is still in position from its last service... John Crooks.

1st June 1974
Set: L419
Reading allocated Class 117 W51408 in Birmingham New Street on 1 Jun 1974. Quite a long way from home I assume 2A10 was an afternoon DMU fill-in turn from Oxford or Banbury. Alistair Ness.
