165108 draws into Reading station working the 17.18 Paddington to
Oxford 'stopper' train. Next to it is the rear of the 1A25 16.30 Bristol to Paddington with 43017 providing the power. 43017 was an early Western Region power car that was part of set 253008. Andy and I travelled in the incredibly hot and busy Turbostar as far as Tilehurst.
