On the way back from my Hermitage walk (see the video of it) I changed trains at Reading and was there at exactly the same time as the previous week (see my video of Reading Platform 5 Train Announcements 19 September 2009. I recorded some more announcements- the delay of the 17.03 train is fascinating. Note that I am still not satisfied and will try again to capture the announcements more completely and in more detail. Of course, the shouting of Watford supporters did not help in this recording of the announcements.
"May I have your attention please" "NO!!"

I know much of Britain does not like their privatized rail system but I was impressed with it when I studied in Reading last fall. I am from the US and used the train as my sole means of transportation. I am back in the US and long for a train to hop onto. It is frustrating to be in America and watch the rest of the work develop and maintain their rail infrastructure as we sit ideal with our rail system. I wish we had a rail system as you do – it just makes sense.
