Reading Central Goods Depot (Coley Branch)
Issue 74 (2010)
p.85
Having examined the yard facilities at Scours Lane and West Junction in previous issues, we now move on to the Coley line, an example of a quite rare item on the Great Western a 'purpose built' goods branch. Although it was only a mile before the first of the facilities was reached on the branch, it id from that point of view serve a rich variety of concerns as well as the main Central Goods Depot for the southern part of the town and its environs. Chris Turner has carried out a considerable number of interviews with staff who worked the branch, and with others who worked at the various private concerns, bringing the branch back to life so far as we are able, and providing an intimate view of this former Great Western enterprise. Includes quite a number of drawings, diagrams, site plans and maps.

We return to Reading in this issue with a consideration of Station Pilot work, one of the unsung aspects of passenger operations. Such was the level of traffic marshalling at the station that two engines were required on an almost full-time basis, with the station down to one engine for just three hours in the early part of the morning.
