I got bored, so i headed over to Newbury Racecourse Station, about half a mile (if not less!) of Newbury. This is a pretty good vantage point as there is a stright so that you can get ready to film. Also, the "Stand Back from the Edge of platform #, through train approaching" announcement comes fairly early, and concidering most trains don't stop at Newbury Racecource, this is a pretty good advantage. With pro's however, there are cons. The station is unstaffed (which is good and bad) and there can be chavs there (it's near Greenham :S). But overall, i love this station and will be back soon!!! Here we see: 1) A quick look around the Station 2) A FGW HST speeding through Plymouth Bound 3) A class 165 going through towards Bedwyn (It's rare to see 2 car units going through non-stop) 4) A HST accelerating eastbound from Newbury Enjoy!
