Thanks! They are fantastic locos indeed. This was my 1st time seeing black 5 so I was very pleased to see this!

@@SouthWestRailEnthusiast oh awesome - 44871 was my first Black 5 on the channel a couple of years back. So I adore her, got to ride behind her last year too 🙂

It was meant to be passing through Andover but diverted via Eastleigh due to engineering works between Andover and Salisbury.

@@SouthWestRailEnthusiast Big sad

So you are wanting to get from USA to Whitchurch Hampshire? Where in USA are you traveling from. If you are traveling from USA to England then you would need to get a plane from your closest airport to probably Heathrow Airport in England.

@trainspotterjames Yes! I’m arriving at Heathrow airport, staying for a couple days in London, the nearest subway station is st James park in Westminster I think that’s what the area is called , from there I need to take a train to whitchurch Hampshire .. but I don’t know where to take that train, and if I need to use the subway to get to a train station, and which train I need to take to whitchurch Hampshire

@wildflower1026 ah ok yeah I can try help you with that. What date and time were you thinking of leaving the hotel in london to get the train to Whitchurch?

Date I’m not sure ! But time around noon .. I just need directions on how and which train station I need to go and what train line I need to take to reach there from st James station in Westminster central London .. do I need to get the sub to reach another train station to get a different train to whitchurch ? Is it st James just a subway? Which train takes me to whitchurch, which line ? How much, let’s say first class ?

@@wildflower1026 Ah ok. From St James Park underground/subway station in London you need to get the CIRCLE or DISTRICT line to Westminster station. From Westminster you need to get the JUBILEE line to Waterloo. When you get to Waterloo you need to make your way to the main station (London Waterloo) by following the signs. When you get to the concourse there are about half a dozen services you could get which I will list now... XX:50 train (for example 12:50) to Salisbury which stops at Whitchurch. XX:05 train (for example 12:05) to Weymouth. If you were to get this train you would need to get off at Basingstoke and get the XX:38 train to Whitchurch (for example 13:38) XX:09 train (for example 12:09) to Portsmouth. If you were to get this train you would need to get off at Basingstoke and get the XX:38 train to Whitchurch (for example 13:38) XX:12 train (for example 12:12) to Basingstoke. If you were to get this train you would need to get off at Basingstoke (where this train terminates) and get the XX:38 train to Whitchurch (for example 13:38) XX:20 train (for example 12:20) to Exeter St Davids. Some XX:20 trains that go to Exeter usually don’t stop at Whitchurch but there are some services that it does stop at Whitchurch though this is usually during Rush hour. If it does stop at Whitchurch then just stay on it till you arrive at Whitchurch. If it doesn’t stop at Whitchurch then get off at Basingstoke and get the XX:38 train to Whitchurch (for example 13:38). Those are some trains you could get from London Waterloo. I recommend you get the train that leaves once an hour at XX:50 which goes straight to Whitchurch. If this service isn’t running then get one of the other trains I mentioned and change at Basingstoke. The trains usually close doors at around 30 - 40 seconds before it leaves. Sorry if I made this a bit confusing. If you have any questions then feel free to ask me 😊. There will be station staff at London Waterloo and an Information desk that can help you. The underground/subway can get VERY busy! At St James Park you need to get either District or Circle line to Westminster. At Westminster station you need to be on the Eastbound platform for Jubilee line and get the Jubilee train that goes to Stratford (most likely) and then get off at Waterloo. I am not sure on what platform it would be from St James Park but you could always walk to Westminster station and get the Jubilee line from there to Waterloo and then get one of those trains I mentioned above (eg XX:50/12:50).
