On 2 January 2010, 51405 & 51363 amble past Soldridge on the Mid Hants Railway with the 10:50 Alton to Alresford service. Along with centre car 51915 this used to form Western Region set L425. This view would not have been possible originally, as one of the typical Southern Railway concrete permanent way huts can bee seen in the foreground, although completely collapsed, with just the roof resting on the ground. Railway photographers have a reputation for lineside clearance, but a reinforced concrete hut is surely beyond the capabilities of even the most determined! |
