This new Third Party route by Martin Masterson adds the 40 mile section from Pewsey to Reading,onto the existing South Western Expressways Route. This means that the long awaited opportunity to drive across a number of routes from Paddington to Penzance,via Newbury is finally possible!

The SWE To Reading route is based in the mid 2010’s shortly before electrification reached Reading,and features 40 miles of rolling British Countryside,beautifully detailed as it heads for Pewsey.

Reading to Theale
From Reading with it’s bustling station,we head south and pass Reading West and Southcote Junction before arriving into the Industrial town of Theale,with its array of terminals for aggregates and oil traffic. Theale has a 3 platform station and features a number of sidings,ideal for scenario creation and shunting.

Theale to Newbury
Between Theale and Newbury the line heads through Aldermaston,Midgham and Thatcham,whilst also passing the site of the Ufton Nervet derailment,which took place in November 2004. The memorial garden here is included as a mark of respect to the 7 people that tragically lost their lives as a result of the crash.

Newbury to Bedwyn
Between Newbury and Bedwyn the line passes through the towns of Kintbury and Hungerford,whilst running parralel with the Kennet and Avon Canal throughout,providing some very scenic screenshot opportunities along the way!

Bedwyn to Pewsey
Probably the most scenic section of this run,climbing from the town of Bedwyn,where there’s a turnback siding for Class 166’s to Reading and London,up past the famous Crofton Pumping Station to Savernake Summit before dropping down the hill to Pewsey,where Martin’s section gives way to the original South Western Expressways.
