Noticed a sign next to the Reading gateline this morning which said that filming was in progress for a new Channel 5 documentary on Great Western Trains. Also gave advice on what to do if you didn't want to appear in it!

Wow, the list of rail TV coming up is huge...
The Tube (series 2) - BBC»
Keeping Britain on Track (w/t) - BBC [One episode features Reading, recall it being number 3]
Something or other (no idea of the actual title) - Sky [Based on East Coast I believe]
Locomotion: Dan Snow... - BBC
... and now this!

Thanks for the replies. I am guessing the signs weren't up when I came through early this morning and it was so manic tonight I was more worried about not getting hit by pax with wheely suitcases!

No worries, BerkshireBugsy - I've simply moved and merged both topics here.  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

The signs have been up for a while, but they are laminated A4-sized, so you may have just missed them. |

There was a Channel 5 team at Twyford this morning, their main centre of interest seemed to be one particular Henley Branch conductor/ticket inspector who I've seen regularly over a number of years, the camera followed him onto the 06:50 Twyford-Henley service.

I think the filming at the start of the year was just for a pilot episode.
Filming has now resumed a couple of weeks ago and apparently will last a few months. No date for the airing of the programme, but apparently the working title of the programme is "Great Westerners".

I wonder if the filming had spread to Paddington by yesterday evening.
Someone was being ejected from a service waiting to depart and various dispatch staff, followed by BTP▸ , followed by sprinting camera-person disappeared up the length of the platform.

Channel 5 were also at Twyford and Henley this weekend due to The Royal Regatta at Henley On Thames. With the previous week at Castle Cary for Glastonbury! From the sounds of it there are 2 filming teams one in the east region of the network and another in the west. Although they were both working together filming us working hard on The Regatta Line in the summer sun over the past few days.  |
