Zoos & Aquariums Attractions In Nutbourne

Diesels on the South Coast - September 2016

The first few weeks of September saw three Diesel tours grace the South Coast - a part of the network that rarely gets a glimpse of anything other an EMUs.

The first was the 'GBRF 15' - a multi-day tour organised to celebrate the 15th anniversary since the formation of GB Railfreight. The first day of the four-day trip would see 20118 and 20132 haul the train from London Victoria to Fratton via Horsham, before reversing to run down to Swanage behind 73213 and 73128. The tour then ran to London Kings Cross with the two 'Choppers' in charge. The video begins at Nutbourne, where the 20s rumble through the station - being one of the few trains to pass along the West Coastway route, as a result of an RMT strike by Southern. The reversal gave me enough time to head to the second location at Netley, where the 73s lead the way towards Swanage.

The second was a 'Waverley Paddle Steamer' excursion, promoted by Vintage Trains. However, due to boiler problems, the sailing of the 'S.S Waverley' around the Isle of Wight was cancelled, with 47773 and 47760 taking the train from Solihull to Portsmouth Harbour and back. The return leg is captured in darkness at Rowlands Castle station.

The third and final tour was the 'Wight & Sussex Coast Explorer', promoted by the West Coast Railway Company. With 47854 and 47851 in charge, the train ran from Stockport to Portsmouth Harbour, running via the WCML and the Portsmouth Direct Line. Running late, the tour passes Mill Lane (Bedhampton) on the outward leg, before powering past Chalton on the return leg.

What a difference a blanket of snow makes to the railways, on a cold spring morning whilst on a trip to Bognor Regis I stop at a few different locations to get the trains in teh snow, although it really was some very uncomfortable filming because of the weather!
