The first up train of the day on the West of England line leaves Basingstoke on a bright but cold Sunday 16 February 1992. 47708 Templecombe is working the 2L18 08:28 Salisbury to Waterloo Network SouthEast service. This picture encapsulates the full range of old style motive power in the area, including loco hauled, slam door EMUs, and DEMUs. On the left Class 423 4-VEP EMU 3006, and Class 205 DEMU 205033 are awaiting their next turn of duty. |
