D9000 - Reading 18/2/1998

D9000 after arrival at Reading on 18th February 1998 with the 1V96 Edinburgh to Reading which she had worked from Birmingham New Street and I had from Birmingham International.

I had received a tip off in the morning from I believe the good old Rail-Gen at around 11:15-11:30 am (the only net group back then - how things have changed!) After a quick call to Pip Dunn, (who was still sat in his EMAP chair back then (well before BAUER)) to confirm the rumours were true I worked on my then boss to let me have some TOIL from the 11+ hours flexi-time I had 'in the bank'. Minutes later I was in the car leaving Bradford at around 12:15 for the 14:06 ex New Street - the rest as they say is history!
