    Adventuring around Central South England

    For 'military museums' perhaps consider Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard. Slightly outside your triangle, but a direct train journey from Salisbury, Winchester or Southampton.

    TRIVIA: Shortest-distance services with on-board catering, longest ones without

    I've stood on a Portsmouth and Southsea Platform and listened to an announcement saying something like "this GWR service is for Portsmouth Harbour. Calling at Portsmouth Harbour.
