Welcome to Reading - 17.3.2015

Reading station is undergoing massive changes to improve the flow of traffic between London and the West of England and South Wales, where it crosses routes from the south coast to the Midlands and North of England. Add to this the electrification of the line from London to Bristol and South Wales and Reading's new role as the western terminus of London's new Crossrail line that runs under the centre of London to destinations in Essex and South-east London. These signalling gantries and the overhead electrical power line masts are the future. Photography will be hampered by all this new steel!
