There are three down facing bay platforms at Reading, numbered one to three. They are used for the local services to Newbury, Bedwyn, Basingstoke, as well as for reversals of the Crosscountry workings. Two Great Western 'Turbos' wait in contrasting liveries. To the left is 168208 that will depart with the 14.08 to Basingstoke whilst, to the right, 165107 will leave just after it with the 14.13 to Newbury.
