Big surprise to see this core nework engineers train on the Up Main. Must be rare to get that one on the 'runner'.

This shot gives you a clue. Most FGW express services were using the Up Relief, whilst XC missed Reading General and when round the Reading West spur directly to the Southern, hence used the Up main.

Then a second shot of 4014 taken with my other camera D200/DX18-135 zoom. Car based trips to areas such as the Thames Valley are the only time that I use both camera's at the same time.
