I think the fire was in the roof of the 56

The 56

The mainline near Winchester is blocked due to a locomotive fire 0Z56 ?

I remember units being hauled by class 33s from Eastleigh going via Andover in the 80s. I have also read in books that when the line north of Winchester was closed they used to go via Alton on what is now The watercress line. In very recent times XC services have gone via Andover from Southampton.

Very sad news. L622TDY was one of the B10Ms I used to fuel and shunt at Portsmouth Farlington depot and I remember when she was brand new. I have the original regeneration plates at home to her sister L621 TDY when she was re-registered 421 DCD. Does anyone know which other king Alfred buses...

When my mum moved house recently I had to collect a lot of stuff I had left there 20 odd years ago. When I worked for Stagecoach south with permission I start to collect registration plates of scrapped or re-reg buses. In my registration collection are Hant & Dorset Bristol VR 3394 YEL1T and...

I saw this video the other day of a Metro line in Belgium built but never used. 1663449548

When Nat Ex take over the Yellow coaches business will they have to operate the Megabus services?

450087 on the Lymington branch today now completed in SWR colours

I remember seeing two peaks once at Eastleigh at the same time. 45052 was about to leave on the Eastleigh to Severn Tunnel speedlink when 45144 appeared on the Fareham stone train. In a book Diesels on the Southern there are pictures of Peaks including 46007 on a stone train to Botley In May...

Lymington Town is due a repaint shortly and will remain in heritage colours

That is correct

I think the site was sold for housing in recent years so I don't know if it's still there.

The station building and parts of the platform at Tisted also remain. Does anyone know if the platform at Bentworth and Lasham on the old Basingstoke to Alton line still remain?

How does this livery compare?

47282 was in the accident near micheldever if I remember correctly

I travelled on both of these on the Reading/Newburys

The class 47 had carried many different liveries over the years but what livery do you think best suited the class 47? For me I liked Scotrail livery the best. It might be because growing up in Eastleigh we never saw it except when the 47/7s finished in Scotland and came south so never got tired...

I used to work on the platform at Guildford. When a slammer was in said platform there was a dispatcher on platforms 6 and 7. When the train was ready to depart the dispatcher on platform 6 would call the dispatcher on platform 7 on the radio and ask if it was all clear platform 7 side. Once...

I have the Somerset and Dorset then and now book by Mac Hawkins and also his LSWR west country then and now book. The lengths he went to capture a near as possible shots in the same location are amazing. One shot of a train at Evercreech Junction for example was taken from the footbridge Macs...
