I've now been commuting daily on this line for about 6/7 months, starting from Newbury.
Beyond the "excitement" of having a 3-car set do the shuttle, it is (rightly) nearly always a 2-car Turbo shuffling up and down the line. Efficient but hardly particularly interesting.
What I'm wondering is, what units would have worked this line prior to the Turbos? I didn't grow up in the Thames Valley so I have no idea what it would have been.
Also, go as far back as you like!
