Trains at: Goring and Streatley, GWML, 11/08/18

A very enjoyable and short time spent at Goring and Streatley on the Great Western Mainline where we see plenty of services from Great Western Railway and Cross Country.
Goring and Streatley was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1840 as was the case with much of the network from London to Didcot. The station itself was never huge but it served its purpose well enough.
The station layout works as two side platforms and a central island platform. Only P1 and P2 are used for stopping traffic, however 3 and 4 will only ever be used when engineering works take place. The station was first called Goring but was later changed to Goring and Streatley in 1895 as to avoid confusion with the town called Goring-By-Sea.
The station hasn't really gone through much in the way of changes apart from being modernised every now and again to accommodate longer trains and the growth on population. The recent changes to the station come in the form of the platforms being lengthened to fully accommodate an 8 car train and the original footbridge needing to be replaced because of the catenary that was being installed last year. Because of this the old ladies waiting room and the toilet block were demolished on the island platform.
Last year the station took on average 400 thousand people.
My next station is going to be Pangbourne.

Such a nice tucked-in station, a real nice setting. A handful of stops, but pure habit. Thanks a mint! B.P.

[@Tornado922]

There were a few stations along this route that I didn't even know existed in all honesty, much like this one. But it was still a great one to go to nevertheless

[@blkpig6664]

Cheers to the Hidden Jems. Thx again! B.P.

I'm on a little holiday near Norwich and I have seen a lot of cross country turbostars passing the country.

[@Tornado922]

You'll see a good variety down that way

Top Job , Top Vlog..

[@Tornado922]

Thank you kindly for saying so

[@goldenboat9106]

Short and sweet, just how I like videos. Looking forward to Pangbourne as I have been there and it is a fairly nice station if I remembered correctly. If not then the nice one is Tilehurst.

[@goldenboat9106]

P.S. Pangbourne is closed regularly for some reason so check before you go.

[@Tornado922]

I'm glad you enjoyed watching this, I liked my time at Pangbourne it was a great small station to go to. Not the best views I've had but it was still a great station to go to

Hi buddy xx

[@Tornado922]

Hello there

[@bigtone3012]

What do you think is the best sounding engine currently in use in the U K . Tornado 922

[@Tornado922]

I think it has to be between 3 different trains in all honesty. The Class 37, 70 and 68 are all equally as good in my eyes

[@alextrainspotterhd6444]

That is a cute station how often does a train stop there ?

[@Tornado922]

You get two trains every 30 minutes in both directions calling here

[@alextrainspotterhd6444]

Tornado922 umm not too bad then I suppose

[@70humdinger94]

That guy in the video (heavy set, short hair, glasses, safety vest) - do you know him or is he just following you around from station to station?

[@Tornado922]

The day this was filmed was the first time I had met him but we have spoken on social media plenty of times in the past and he wanted to join me for the day which I was more than happy to do

[@jorl9536]

Do another video at Southampton central

[@Tornado922]

I'm focussing on my GWML series at the moment. You will have to wait

[@jorl9536]

@@Tornado922 ok thanks alot

[@tsangpogorge]

Was some sort of legal action taken by the local residents because the electrification masts were deemed too stark for what is designated an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' fortunately it looks like it all amounted to nothing!

[@Tornado922]

I have to admit the masts aren't exactly the most elegant looking things in the world. I would've thought that given some of the areas that the line has to pass through they would've done something to make them almost blend in that little bit more

[@OlafProt]

Here's a trip back in time for the same station - much more varied rolling stock!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6a4dqqDjZ6AiNk

[@neilmarktaylor4386]

Your sure like your freight

[@Tornado922]

Having freight every now and again helps break up the film so I'm not just purely getting passenger traffic
