EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1988, capturing a moment in time at Reading Station in Berkshire. The station, as depicted here, showcases its original Victorian building before it underwent redevelopment in 1989 and transformed into a public house. The bustling scene shows an Intercity 125 train parked at one of the platforms, exuding power and speed with its sleek design. This iconic high-speed train was commonly referred to as "HST" or "Intercity" symbolizing modern transportation during that era. Its presence adds a touch of excitement to the photograph, reminding us of the rapid advancements made in railway technology. The architectural beauty of the Victorian station building is also on full display. With its intricate details and grandeur, it serves as a testament to the rich history and heritage associated with Reading Station. Little did anyone know at that time how this historical structure would be repurposed into a vibrant public house where people could gather for drinks and socialize. Through this image captured by STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), we are transported back to an era when railways were not only means of transportation but also symbols of progress and innovation. It allows us to appreciate both the past glory of Reading Station and how it has evolved over time while still retaining elements from its storied past.
