In this volume of previously unpublished photographs, David Reed takes the reader on a journey around the Southern Region during the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s.
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. Also includes a short section of photographs taken on 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 today.
Each photograph is accompanied by a caption and an introduction to the Southern Region during this period is also included. 96 pages.
