PADDINGTON to READING Great Western DMU ride with steam 1960

Although the ride is on a first generation Diesel Multiple Unit, before leaving Paddington we watch steam activity from the end of platform 1, and many steam-hauled passing trains, both passenger and freight, are seen from the front seats of the DMU. A passing steam train is also seen during a break of journey at Slough, and after arrival at Reading.
