27 July 2016 our trip to the Didcot Railway Centre started out from London Paddington travelling on a class 180 to Didcot and with Dudley from our northern MiRaCle branch joining us at Reading. Lunch was taken at the Prince of Wales and we then visited the centre with plenty of exhibits to be seen including the GWR King class King Edward II and live running experienced. A very good day out and returning to Paddington on an Inter City 125 service.
