Reading has a lot of crossovers and various options, at least 3 different routes from the Reading West to Reading direction, as well as the lesser used connections at the eastern ends [to/from the Wokingham direction]

Hi. Good to know that Wimbledon P4 is a possibility albeit hens teeth rare. Hell will probably freeze over before P1 P2 P3 ever get used then...I have used a passenger train from Wimbledon P4 (have a picture somewhere), but it is very rare. P1-4 all have 4 rails (one being the 3rd rail!), so could be used in theory?
Was you able to catch a train into Victoria P2 via Stewarts Lane?... one little crossover on the approach that would only get used into this platform from the slow lines. Conversely, P1-P2 starts from Victoria to the slow lines are rare and use little used crossovers.
The weather on Sunday morning was less than impressive, but it looks like you made the best of it

Probably another reason i have not been too fussed about doing Victoria before now, although the all lines in/out attempt may prove more challenging. (all as part of the main challenge of course - lets see) I think i have already done one of the Gatwick Express platforms on another engineering day but i will take a trip on that service at some point. A side quest is to travel on each TOC at least once so this will mean Heathrow Express (amongst others) as well from Paddington. A station i have shockingly ignored for over 2 years now.A few good days out and about
London Victoria in terms of platforms is probably one of the easiest of the main big* London terminals in terms of cost as other than the 2 platforms used by Gatwick Express everything should call within the zones (Clapham/Bromley/Denmark Hill etc)
(* In terms of number of platforms)

Not a sole was there.... and no platform number signs either... Both visits i have been the only one boarding or alighting. Hardly surprising i guess - it really is in the middle of nowhere.A productive day in Anglia
Were you alone at Shippea Hill?
I have just checked and it appears the East to North direction at Soho Junction(s) is not in use after all this Sunday. The early morning New Street to Liverpool Lime Street no longer shows on RTT so i am probably going to look at the Down Ilford Avoider instead which clashed time wise. The North to East Junction direction is still there however with 2 services from Wolverhampton to Milton Keynes indicating usage. The turn out appears to be at North Junction itself and not by way of the Up Soho Curve if this is of interest to anyone. Ex Wolverhampton 8.52 and 9.46.I am away for a few days now for birthday celebrations, and whilst i have nothing planned in detail there are a number of Easter targets next weekend that interest me including Soho East/North both ways on the Sunday. I have done this from Wolverhampton twice now (both unplanned too) but i have not seen it timetabled towards Wolverhampton before so that may be a priority. The UTT site is down as i write for the weekly data upload so i can't check properly.

Sounds like a good shout that - i always seem to overlook Openstreetmaps in the planning stage, but this time i plain forgot to look at Clandon until i was boarding the train there. No matter how much you plan there is nearly always something overlooked... As for Glasgow, my original intention was to do some missing track on the Stranraer line but with the demolition of the Station Hotel at Ayr taking forever i have had to resort to plan B which is perhaps a jaunt up to Oban on the Sunday and see if i can bag both platforms there (Sunday afternoon only possibility) before finding a decent curry house back in Glasgow. Monday was planned to be an early morning trek up to Kilmarnock for some key track before pausing for my business appointment and then having an afternoon on the lines either side of Paisley Gilmour Street and then heading for home before the rush hour traffic was up and running.Highly recommend using openstreetmap.org for finding the whereabouts of footbridges and underpasses on stations... has much more detail than google/etc. Looks like you had a good time in my neck of the woods on Saturday. If all goes to plan, I'll be in Glasgow next Saturday as well... you have been warned

Ah.. that makes sense. The approach signage for the crossover did look rather shiny and new!Batley East was installed Feb 2023 and padlocked out of use then and commissioned in June 2023 and has been in working order since. It'll get plenty of use over the next 5 years.

It has not been a wholly enjoyable experience travelling all over the West of Scotland, as the ratio of questionables using the trains there climbs as high as anywhere. I will certainly not be using any but the largest stations on any evening jaunt in the Central belt too when i eventually move further East. I loved my time staying there for 14 years and made many friends in the process, but some stations are in areas non locals might feel uncomfortable with of an evening...I remember visiting Milliken Park well, an area you don't want to be hanging around after hours.
I am fairly sure i had noticed this when planning my trip to Southampton some weeks back but thanks for reminding me. Not done a whole lot about it yet which is why i am a bit fuzzy on detail currently. I am absolutely swamped with ideas now the weather is improving and have spent much time looking at the weird and the wonderful parts of the network with a view to not missing the highly unusual track opportunities, but there seems to be an abundance of this stuff on offer - for the next 3 months at least.(BTW, I gather you have noticed that the bay platform at Fareham gets booked use from the June timetable change with a morning Fareham - Southampton stopper, rather than being used for engineering works or on an ad-hoc basis if GWR is running late that control spin it at Fareham instead of Portsmouth)
