As the floor appears to be open, perhaps I could pose one? One relating to your last journey, TrainMan185....

How many sets of track circuit operating clips would you find on board that 158, or indeed any of FGW's 158 9XX units?! And for a bonus point along the same lines, how many detonators?

A bit technical admittedly, but let's see who's on the ball

What is 'special' about platforms 12 - 15 at Reading?

 

[Buttsy]

They're new platforms that don't technically exist yet as they are still being built/fitted out on the site of the avoiding lines at Reading and will be wired. Also, Reading has never had platforms 12-15 before.

I commute to Reading daily

Open floor if I'm right.

 

[BestWestern]

You are quite correct
