The Way We Were: Reading 1973

            Reading General on 4th August 1973, as Class 52 No. 1044 'Western Duchess' arrives with service 1A05, 1355 Paignton Paddington. No doubt the lady announcer, whose distinctive, sharp and clipped tone being a feature, was already telling all that this was 'READING!' READING'! Her announcements were so distinctive that she acquired national fame courtesy of Terry Wogan who mimicked her on his Radio 2 breakfast show.
