In this volume of previously unpublished photographs, David Reed takes
the reader on a journey around the Southern Region. The
Waterloo-Bournemouth and Weymouth line features with Woking, Basingstoke
and the New Forest, together with the south coast 'Coastway' route
between Portsmouth, Brighton and Hastings, including a brief hop over to
the Isle of Wight. There are also photographs taken on the
Waterloo-Reading line, and the Alton-Winchester and Swanage lines before
they closed. A variety of elderly 1930s and at the time modern 1960s
electric locomotives, electric trains and diesel multiple units and
locos are pictured in various liveries, none of which remain in service.
