摘要

Network Rail says that it has reached 'a major milestone' in Great Western Electrification Programme, with the operation of the first electric trains between Reading and Didcot over the weekend of July 16 to 17. A pair of Hitachi Class 800 1EP trainsets made two test runs on this first section of the GWML to be energised, operating at up to 125 mile/h.
