Believe me it's better getting wet than using the old subway. I wouldn't have even let Anthony Joshua walk down there alone!

Thanks for the update, didn't realise it was being delayed due to the electrification. And for the bus lane, can we get one going away from the stadium too? Can't wait to get out quick enough these days!

Are all 387s banned from the Berks Hants line or just the ones affected by the issues this week?

Believe me we wish it was nearer the town too! But as AlistairFraser says, the town was already getting too congested for a bigger stadium to be built so this was the only viable area to have it. Reading Green Park will make a massive difference when it opens.

Ah I see, thanks. That makes sense!

Are the wires on the B&H line set higher up than the GW mainline as the pantograph on the video shows the 387 at a higher setting?

I agree. You should see some of the "folk" that stumble off the Newbury race shuttles at Reading station on event days!

Easy draw for United. Reading have been shocking this season, if we manage to get away without a hammering then we'd have done well!

Thank god we have the 387s on the TV locals now! Perfect for the current heatwave.

They also seem to be cutting a few stops from Burnham on the evening peaks recently too, not sure why as I hadn't noted many major delays.

Been living in Slough my whole life and have never had any issues. Yes it has its problems but certainly isn't the worst place in the UK to live in.

Early 2014 until late 2015 if I am correct.

First experience of an 800 this morning between Slough & Reading. Acceleration is great and the interior/seats aren't too bad in my opinion. Under electric power until Maidenhead I think as it was on diesel at Reading, are 800's not cleared on the OHLE to Didcot yet? Edit - sorry have just seen...

Great thanks for the info. What were your first impressions of the train? I am hoping to try and travel on it between Paddington and Reading later this week!

What is the top speed whilst on diesel mode? I know it is 125mph on electric but have heard conflicting views regarding if it runs at 100mph, 115 according to Wikipedia whilst others have mentioned it can run full speed on diesel?

Or before it reaches: "Where are you?!" :D

Good to see it's finally going ahead after years of talking about it. It'll bring better transport links for South Reading and will help ease the traffic on the A33 on matchdays at the Madjeski Stadium.

Not sure why the entire football league has always hated us but never mind. Didn't turn up today just like previous Wembley finals. Fair play to Huddersfield, fully deserve it. Their fans were superb after the game, absolute credit to the club.

We're not all plastics by the way! A few fans spoiled the night for us then now we have stupid over policing. Don't judge all of our fans by a few morons! :)

Thought it was up the creek. Was at a pub by Blackfriars this afternoon and there was a class 700 wirh a 319 sitting there all day.
