Thames Branches

This is an opportunity to see four of the GWR Thames Valley branch lines from the drivers cab We start at Paddington for a run along the Greenford branch taking us over the Great Western main line via Ealing Broadway the line terminating at Greenford sandwiched between the tracks of LULs Central Line We then travel over the Windsor branch from Slough into the onetime showpiece Royal station facing Windsor Castle Unusually we return part of the way to show the junction arrangement at Slough The Marlow branch is the fascinating legacy of the onetime through route to High Wycombe requiring a reversal at the constricted junction at Bourne End Finally we travel over the line to Henley on Thames All trains on the four branch lines consist of 2car class 165 Turbo DMUs Filmed in the summer sunshine of 2015
