Railvac returns to Totton Yard :D with GBrf 66755 on the rear & 66727, whether this is a one of (several workings this week scheduled) for Totton Yard or will they be returning to use, fits ok into the 4th siding but had ballast already loaded, it had been working from Pirbright Junction &...

Has the movements for D&Cr at Totton Yard stopped for the time being as the Railvac is now sat at Eastleigh & the waggons up at Chaddesden, there are no timed movements on Realtime either ????

Have noticed in the last couple of weeks that the entrance in to the Eastern Docks opposite the terminus they look like they could be doubling the tracks, the new track they have laid has a buffer near the entrance gates & whether at some point they may go be on this point & across the road...

There was a post last week about 31s being in Eastleigh which I answered to saying that 31-190 & 31-452 along with the Railvac & wagons was in Totton Yard & has been on & off for the last 10 days. Is this going to be an on-going thing as I see there is a healthy stock of fresh ballast in Totton...

Evening all, over the last couple of weeks I’ve noticed 6 or 7 EWS or Freightliner flatbeds in Totton Sidings, when I first noticed this on Mon 12th Dec I spent from 9.30am through to 11.30am hoping to catch a Loco picking these up as I thought this was used for storage over that weekend for...

Morning all, last couple of evenings I’ve seen a Cross Country Voyager set come in from the Salisbury/Romsey line at Redbridge (Southampton) & head on towards Southampton, both time was around 7.40ish. Wondered why this had been re-routed as when I drove into Southampton 20 minutes later a Cross...

Morning, I can more or less answer this myself but is it only SWT that run through here or do/have there been trains running via Yeovil Pen/Yeovil Junction as I’m sure I’ve seen pictures in the early 80s of a HST/DMU's here ?

Is there a Motorail service still in the UK or did the last service finish a few years ago, if so why did it stop or did it just over price it self out of business. There was talk of a service starting up around the Southampton area a few years ago but came to nothing. Can remember the...

:cry:Have just found out it’s just going to be a Diesel weekend & not a Beer festival:cry:, this maybe a bad move who ever decided not to have the Beer Festival as you had to travel by train to get to Harmmans Cross & you had plenty of paying Ale Heads paying to go on the trains. I’ve been going...

Was working near Bevois Yard (Southampton) yesterday & on my lunch break had a walk around there & on to St Denys Bridge, those who know of this yard know that it shut completely to rail traffic in the 90s, there were a number of scrapyards in there & small companies, these have all gone, 8’...
