I popped down to the Docks with camera today and snapped these photos of Canute Road crossing, right next to the old South Western House, now flats, and one-time Southampton Terminus station.

The other crossing is Chapel Road, near the College, which is almost reached by the carriage sidings from Northam Depot.

I have seen Clan Line, 73s, and various 66s at these crossings over the years.
