SOUTH WEST TRAINS SEASIDE SLAMMER
SPECIALS |
| To mark the departure of Mk 1 stock from its main line and to celebrate the launch of its "heritage" operation on the Lymington branch, South West Trains organised two "Seaside Slammer " railtours between Waterloo and Weymouth. The first was on Saturday 11th June 2005 for staff and the second for the public was on Saturday June 18th. Money raised from both tours was donated to the new Lymington Hospital. |  |

The early bird (well photographer) catches the worm (well empty stock working)! Such are the sacrifices the keen railway enthusiast and photographer has to make, this is the positioning move of the stock from Bournemouth TRSMD to Waterloo passing through Eastleigh at 05.50. photograph by Mike Cook |

Portsmouth Direct, thence via Cosham and Swanwick to Southampton. Return is via the main
