Morning all, last couple of evenings I’ve seen a Cross Country Voyager set come in from the Salisbury/Romsey line at Redbridge (Southampton) & head on towards Southampton, both time was around 7.40ish. Wondered why this had been re-routed as when I drove into Southampton 20 minutes later a Cross...

Morning, I can more or less answer this myself but is it only SWT that run through here or do/have there been trains running via Yeovil Pen/Yeovil Junction as I’m sure I’ve seen pictures in the early 80s of a HST/DMU's here ?

Result :D, Beer festival is now back on in Hammans Cross Village Hall

It’s a shame really as even if it increased the speed just by 15-20 mph to 40-45mph it would make such a different to Themed weekends , mainly Diesel weekends to see them really working & having a good old Thrash & a Clagging Session:D. I know 5-6 years ago The Mid Hants got fined (Diesel...
