Excellant footage NSE livery was one of BRs best none of these profit operating companies have beat it to this day.

SWT's Weymouth line services seem to alternate: stopping either at Winchester and Woking; missing out Basingstoke entirely, or running from Basingstoke non-stop through to Waterloo. It's probably done to try to encourage passengers onto the underused stopping trains to Waterloo. In reality, stoppers still run fast from Woking; stopping only at Surbiton, Wimbledon and Clapham. I'm afraid that's the trouble with living so close to London but, still, all the Exeter line trains stop there.

Lovely stuff

I am guessing that the 'Intercity' services here in this video were used for the London Waterloo-Exeter St Davids route. Is this correct?

My grandparents were earwickers living in Basingstoke

@uhegbu If you're referring to the 47/8s and the Mk2s I'm guessing they're Cross Country NW/SE route. I used to take it from Coventry to Southampton

[@paultaylor6525]

Oh how i wish to celbrate the 25th Anniversay of NSE for 1 week they would return to that traction! (sadly not enough slamdoor trains left (and the fact they are not allowed on the mainline anymore) Kinda puts a raincloud over the idea! :(
