Clapham Junction – Gillingham (Dorn)
Weymouth – Bournemouth – Branksome – Bournemouth Southampton Central – Woking
(the train terminated at Bournemouth due to engineering works, I got back on the same train & went back out to Branksome for the crossover, then back to Bournemouth for the rail replacement bus).
Burscough Bridge, Junction, Ormskirk, Seaforth & Litherland, Cressington, Green Lane, Hooton, Manor Road, Wallasey Grove Road, Seacombe ⛴ – George's Pier Head, also the low-level entrance to Birmingham Snow Hill that's outside the ring road (I've only ever used the upper entrance through the car park in the past).
Clapham Junction – Plumpton, Glynde – Lewes – Clapham Junction, Clapham Junction – East Croydon – Haywards Heath – Cooksbridge, Uckfield – Oxted – Victoria.
And I got to see the movement at Oxted where a 171 detrains on the Up platform before being shunted into the bay platform. Apparently this was how bay platforms used to be used back in the days of locomotive haulage, but despite having been units for longer than most lines Oxted still does it the old-fashioned way rather than with a reverse crossover.

A trip out to Newport to visit Pilning on the p.m. service.
A family of four alighted in addition to myself and one boarded, presumably an enthusiast judging by the HST T-shirt.

Bramley (Hants) - which has a nice pub down the road
Mortimer - which has a pub that's been converted to an Indian Restaurant down the road
(The first, but not on this occasion the second, explains the continuing absence of Reading Green Park from this thread...
