[@20PhantoM07]

I dunno if i enjoyed the history or the skits at the end more 😳🤣 subbed.

[@richardperry8774]

Love those end bits, put a smile on my face in these bad times, thank you 🙂

[@davekirwin]

Thanks Richard, I try not to take myself too seriously and besides, we all need a laugh!

[@Panpan1568]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@pwhitewick]

Excellent Dave. A well told story. We love this little line and it's quirky history. More videos to follow we hope. Oh and a big thanks for the mention. 👍🏻

[@davekirwin]

No worries Paul, you guys make some great videos, so rude not to share the love!

Hi Dave, just came across your videos, subscribed and watched both part 1 and 2. Really enjoy your presentation, and even enjoy your humor!! Your bloopers are hilarious too. Well done. Cheers, Ian

[@davekirwin]

Hi Dave, great video. I'm pleased to hear that Winchester tunnel is still in use rather than just being left to deteriorate like so many others. A very nice line, shame it was closed.

[@davekirwin]

Hi Richard, glad you liked the video. I think the line today would have been very useful but then that can be said of many of the old line!

Thank you so much! From a female rail fan.

Would the viaduct have taken 2 tracks or just one?

[@davekirwin]

Good question Ian. It was single tracked just after Shawford Junction and all the way to just outside Winchester Chesil as far as I know. A photo of the single line on the viaduct can be seen here: facebook.com/pg/The-GWR-Didcot-Newbury-Southampton-Railway-DNS-1487864558127164/community/?mt_nav=0&msite_tab_async=0

There is also this home movie of the era I found on youtube, go to 0.20 to start crossing from the Up line across Shawford Junction and onto the viaduct. kzbin.info/www/bejne/apywhaKGaNWUbtU

@@davekirwin That's an amazing video with all those old stations and that great steam footage. Makes it even sadder that the line is gone now.
