Wessex Electrics: Memorabilia & Publicity


Network SouthEast publicity artwork

The Wessex Electric Fleet was launched with a blaze of publicity by Network SouthEast's Publicity Department. This page contains both some of their original promotional material and Wessex Electric ephemera produced since.

This is artwork produced by for the Network SouthEast Publicity Department for use in a publicity pack. (Material courtesy of Richard Sharp)


Publicity Corkscrew

Seen left is a promotional corkscrew, perhaps inspired by "Castleman's Corkscrew" the name given to the tortuous original route of the LSWR through Dorset after its promoter who was a solicitor from Wimborne?
