The Southern Railway was a great user of reinforced concrete. This p.w. hut, complete with stove chimney, survives alongside the Brighton mainline at Salfords 3796x2636 20091013_02.jpg |
A London Bridge to Horsham train approaching Salfords whilst an FCC Bedford train is nearing Earlswood. 3592x2396 20091013_03.jpg |
A pair of FCCs 377s in full City Lights livery en-route to Gatwick Airport and Brighton. 3852x2491 20091013_04.jpg |
A Southampton and Bognor Regis to Victoria semi-fast is overtaken by a Victoria bound Brighton Express, whilst the 13:45 Gatwick Express from Victoria heads south.

Friday 16th. Off to Ally P at lunchtime for the 86701 and 702. As a warm up the 3J33 put in an appearance, taking the Up Goods just south of the station. 3592x2601 20091016_01.jpg |
The 13:22 Moorgate to Welwyn Garden City is overtaken by a Hull Trains 180. 3344x2804 20091016_02.jpg |
Unfortunately the 86 and it's empty stock was running on the Down Slow, at least as far as Ally P where it switched to the Down Fast. Love the livery. 3772x2509 20091016_03.jpg |
The following down FCC service was stopped by the 86 switching to the fast. Nice that it happened to be a 321. 3924x2712 20091016_04.jpg |
