I remember the terrible winter and the disruption it, and industrial action during the winter of discontent caused. I was travelling regularly between Reading and the Midlands and the effects of snow, freezing rain. freezing fog and displacement of stock brought semi-permanent chaos to the network. Having said that there were a few bonuses such as having a 33 from Reading to New Street and on one occasion a train of air conditioned Mark 2's.
