Caversham Road timelapse - first edit.mov

[LaurelVentura]

Impressive. Was that huge red thing with wheels a Self Propelled Modular Transporter?

Hey, I am just wondering what the name of the machine/vehicle that takes away the smaller railway bridges (20-23 seconds into the video) is called? I have never seen it before, but it seems to do the job faster than a crane. Anyone help me with the name please? Thank you

[evskiboy]

Awesome, just a suggestion.. maybe put some music in if you make more?

[JIMBO5444]

Great movie Im trying my hand at it..

[mrcool76789]

A bunch of pictures or a video sped up? Please respond.

[TheUnchainedMind]

@mrcool76789

You think he captured a couple of days of video and sped it up ? Do you reckon he used a supercomputer to edit the videos together ? Seriously...

He took pictures, yes.

I have been out of Caversham in Reading for yearts, but I noticed the fire station. When did they actually do this? Must of caused chaos over Reading bridge! Nice upload.

@thomasemery i thing there taking out the last 2 at easter

my great grandad help but in the bridges

[sewartwebb]

Simple but stunning peice of engineering!

[digitalnoisephoto]

I couldn't care less whether it improves the line, in face I preferred the old bridge. Awesome timelapse though!

[66mjtaylor]

Amazing feat of engineering and great video

[TryallVerzhon]

Congratulations - a difficult job well done. If you were Victorians, they'd be putting exhibitions on about you in the local museum.

[whatisapixel]

Really impressive.

[roscalen]

Amazing! Well done!

[zag2me]

Incredible! very impressive

[reevesc1986]

Reading always was a dump.

[Kong1927]

That's amazing! I'll never look at the bridge the same way again.

[asaccin]

Fantastic video, thanks for capturing it. Anyone got any more Reading station improvement vids?

[finn243]

Big up caversham!!!

[sgeour]

If you speed it up it actually looks like they're working :P

[renaultlover1]

So this is why the road was closed on new year's eve!

[Dysanovic]

Good work!

[ManicGTI]

boring.

[digireedoo]

@ManicGTI so don't watch then

[ManicGTI]

@digireedoo

Choking. On. The. Dryness.

[digireedoo]

@ManicGTI more like choking on your own exhaust fumes

Ignore Stratford. Reading is the second busiest station outside London and 730 trains stop there every day. Over 14 million passengers go through every year. Not bad for an old Brunel station. Passenger numbers on the GWML have increase year on year since the turn of the century and it is expected to hit over 25 million passengers through Reading by 2030. And you say it won't be used?

[crispinhj]

@digireedoo and @theroyalshow While I take your point that the changes should in theory make a difference, there is a massive new station at Stratford that will probably remain unused after the Olympics we are told. New platforms and lines achieve nothing if they do not get used. Try telling me that the management of our wonderful privatised railways could organise the proverbial drinking session in a brewery. Experience shows us that the outcome of these improvements is less than the publicity

[crispinhj]

really interesting but there's a bit of me that thinks that it'll make no difference at all to the average journey. Most so called "improvement" work takes weeks/months/years and makes no discernible improvement to journeys. The Circle line is a classic example - years of work and a worse and less convenient service at the end of it.

[theroyalshow]

@crispinhj You're completely wrong, i'll just leave it at that.

[digireedoo]

@crispinhj Reading Station is the single biggest bottleneck on the Great Western Mainline. Trains queue for platforms in the peak. This work allows access to several new platforms to the north of the line and allows fast lines through the station. The reckoning is that it will almost double passenger capacity as well. Try to tell me it won't make a difference!

Consider remaking with artificial tilt shift

[tynerider]

Towards the end it looks like ants over a jam sandwich at a picnic.

[JohnInBerkshire]

Wow, fantastic video, well done (hope you don't mind I put a link on the Reading Forum website).

[matt1784]

this is brilliant, really interesting to see how it happened

[PieOPah]

shows you what the Bristish can achieve in such a short period of time - well done!

[enIslander]

That's amazing - brilliant video, thanks!

[mskadu]

Really awesome! The good stuff starts from 01:21. Well done in capturing this stuff! Kudos!
