    Bits of Freight at West Brompton

    He might have been on the wrong platform for any number of reasons or he may have wanted a different view/angle of the train. Still it's his choice surely. :!:

    It's more obvious that you didn't read my post properly, still nevermind.

    Bits of Freight at West Brompton

    Excellent photo of 37607+37606 on the Serco. Sometimes it's not possible to get on the right side of the sun, more so when photographing from a platform.

    Railtalk issue 9 (with improvments)

    The photo quailty is very good unlike some online mags. The piece 'On Location' about the Southampton area is wrong, the Bevios valley area (Mount pleasant crossing and St Denys) are the most popular photo locations as is the Down Goods Loop footbridge outside (to the west not south) of...

    Loco Hauled to Weymouth this summer.

    67s have run on the Weymouth route a few times over the last few years so that shouldn't be a problem.

    Nice shotos Tom, also see from your site that you have been photographing in the Boscombe area you dirty boy. :-D The Wool sand train is very photogenic since they swapped wagons although it throws up a lot of sand so not a good idea to photograph it from a bridge as i found out a few weeks...

    Southern Day Out 29/5

    Some nice photos there Rich, Test lane crossing is quite good for services towards Romsey. That's 6M58 Southampton Western Docks to Bescot which runs top & tail into the down goods loop (front loco uncouples, runs into the bay at Southampton Central) back loco then takes the service forward via...

    Loco Hauled to Weymouth this summer.

    Really. :roll: What we know so far. EWS sign a contract to supply and crew? locos for FGW but what route? What we don't know. Where are the coaches coming from? What traction? What services? For how long? When does it start? Why know one knows (not even staff it seems)? Why would FGW...

    Pendo Released

    Just downloaded it and had a little try certainly worth the wait. I swapped it for the 23:00 Maybank to Hammerwich and replaced the HST. Well done to all involved.

    Loco Hauled to Weymouth this summer.

    To be honest it's guess work and rumours, anyone can guess and between us someone will get it right. I know someone who signs the route and has done for years and knows of nothing where as normally they would by now, don't mean it won't happen though. My guess 158s. :?:

    ISO, Shutter Speed and ISO Information advice.

    Good thing about Opanda is that you can see what settings other people used as it reads all settings from all cameras.

    Loco Hauled to Weymouth this summer.

    Certainly an interesting thread and whats more interesting is that nobody knows thats going on and time is running out, although we all would like loco hauled it's looking more doubtfull everyday. I heard a rumour that the line might have top and tail 150s for the summer saturday turns. :-P

    ISO, Shutter Speed and ISO Information advice.

    Download http://www.opanda.com/en/iexif/index.html and you can read data from any photo (that have the Exif data stored) It will tell you focal length, ISO,shutter speed and most other settings from any camera, not just your own.

    Loco Hauled to Weymouth this summer.

    Westbury traincrew have been told,no loco hauled just 2 car 158s :lol: and i was looking forward to loco hauled aswel. Still remember staff are normally the last to know.

    FGW transforming travel

    I remember when First first took over and they cancelled a few services due to leave Southampton due to staff shortages including a Portsmouth to Cardiff service so everyone jumped on the next Southampton to Bristol service which was a 153 that was so packed that the Guard asked people to leave...

    Poole - Weymouth Resignalling Scheme Approved?

    Should be 2 tph Weymouth to London anyway with 3 tph from Bournemouth to London IMO. I thought the current Wareham to Brockenhurst service was soon to be a extended Weymouth to Southampton. Never understood why there are more trains from/to Hamworthy then there is from Bournemouth to Weymouth.
