Mk3's from Reading to Eastleigh TRSMD

[Graham H]

I see regular trips usually with 50008 reported moving stuff between Reading and Eastleigh. Curious as to what happens at Eastleigh as they dont seem to go to the Arlington site so is there some facility in the TRSMD now ?

The depot website says this:

Our Eastleigh Depot is suited to most forms of traction and rolling stock including freight vehicles for both light and heavy maintenance and refurbishment.

Charter coaching stock was based there for quite a while, so the depot has previous history with hauled stock

The Mk3s are from the GWR Night Riviera set and are being repainted by Arriva Train Care in the TRSMD. They can and have done refurbishments and repaints ‘across the road’ in the past too.
