[@stevegarnham4632]

Reading west must be one of the top spots in the country Mike, great vid.

[@antman09ful1]

Yeah I think you have made a good point there Steve, it must be in the top ten if there was a list, cheers for your comment, Mike.

[@berksandhantsfreight]

Your description says it all Mike! Good to see the blue train running again after summer shutdown.Expertly filmed and produced as usual,well done.Regards Dave

[@antman09ful1]

Thank you Dave for this kind comment.

[@linesided]

Even google maps has a picture of a heavy freight train when you search Reading West. Question - where does the OHLC end on this branch? Great video - thanks for sharing.

[@antman09ful1]

I'm sure its Newbury at the moment. Thanks for your comment Jonathan.

[@tattoo1084]

good work and like the 66/59 double header.👍

[@antman09ful1]

Me too David, them long trains have to have two locos for there loads which is great.

[@pmallenuk]

Great spots for freight action. Nice footage & I’m not familiar with Mortimer.

[@antman09ful1]

It was my first visit to that station.

[@matt154uk9]

I'm still waiting 😀 Good video Mike, lots of freight on view here

[@antman09ful1]

You should be as a freight arrived didn't it.

[@scruffwoodscruffwood6505]

Very good Mike smashing shot at 14.40 mins

[@antman09ful1]

That's great mate, thank you.

[@ENCTrainspotting]

Great video as usual Mike👍

[@antman09ful1]

Thank you.

[@bryannewman5012]

Some fine shots of the versatile 66 Mike.

[@antman09ful1]

66 all around indeed Bryan, but that's the name of the game these days in that area, but its still worth a visit there. Regards Mike.

[@558vulcanxh]

Thanks Sir, some good stuff here , on the Morris Cowley to Southampton section, it would be nice to imagine the train was filled with Austin Maxis, we could fit just about anything in ours {like this train {😂😂🤞🤞😃} including our four children and my Wife one of my favourite cars we had in the 1970s, extremely reliable, and roomy but Minis it must be . Good for them 👍👍

[@antman09ful1]

Oh yes the Austin Maxis, never had one but I did heard good reports about them, but I don't remember them being around for very long. Thanks for having a watching of this video matey.

[@558vulcanxh]

My pleasure, as usual Mike, thank you 😊

[@stevegarnham4632]

four of us used to fit into a Hillman imp 😆

[@wam2610]

👍

[@antman09ful1]

Always great to see them long train loads working David, thank you for watching this one.

[@MiloRoyal1871]

My local station, literally less than 10 minutes from home, and I can even see it from my bedroom window. I'm usually at the end of the platform with the yellow grit bin. Brilliant location for freight, GWR Class 800s, 166 and 165s, 387s and Cross Country 220s.

[@antman09ful1]

As you know to well its very good there, but my interest is freight trains, not them plastic green thing mate. Thank you for your comment and for watching my video.

[@MiloRoyal1871]

@@antman09ful1 it's excellent for freight isn't it. I have to admit that I really miss the HSTs going through there. Thankfully there's still lots of freight every day.

[@antman09ful1]

Yes I too miss the HSTs, so last week I went to Devon to see the Castle Class HSTs.

[@MiloRoyal1871]

@@antman09ful1 we've got family in Exeter, so whenever we're down there I'll make sure I see the Castle Class set. I want to a tour on the Midland Pullman as well with the Mrs.

[@allan5919]

Certainly busy stations Mike. Excellent coverage of the freight. Cheers - Allan.

[@antman09ful1]

Its a long way from Newcastle Allan, but if you are down that way you will have to give it a go. ATB Mike.

[@benGBRf]

Brilliant video Mike. Always a busy location is Reading West but was interesting to see some footage from Mortimer. ATB. Ben

[@antman09ful1]

Thank Ben for watching, I know you are always busy so I appreciate your time in watching my footage. Cheers Mike.

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

At least you got a bit of variety there. well copped mate

[@antman09ful1]

Yes I did Keith, but its crap now when you want to change platforms with the road works.

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Great video Mike. 6:18 The headcode was 6M48 not 6M40

[@antman09ful1]

Nice one Arnold, I must put a light on when using the keyboard.

[@Keithbarber]

Mostly to/from acton yard

[@antman09ful1]

Stone trains yes.

[@ttvvideos2050]

13:48 why is 4O35 so short?

[@antman09ful1]

I can't know that mate.
