twyford 1977





Some more random shots from Twyford in Berkshire, all taken on 8 August 1977. One of my favourite locations both for the variety and quantity of traffic passing through, with the added bonus of branch line trains to Henley-on-Thames.

twyford 1985





(All Twyford 15.5.1985)

Back in the 80s I had a few favourite locations, mainly chosen because they were busy and not too difficult to get to. Twyford in Berkshire was a couiple of hours away from Littlehampton, and was decidedly exotic compared to my diet of EMUs!

In a few hours there would be around fifty trains through ranging from HSTs to the branch trains to Henley. In 1985 there was still a fair amount of loco hauled passenger trains mainly in the hands of class 47s.
