Marsden Rail - 29 - Southern Region Steam - Part 2

This second programme in the Marsden Rail series to feature the Southern Region of British Railways complements Volume 25 'Southern Region Steam - Part One'. London's Waterloo Station is followed by views at Vauxhall, Clapham Junction and Nine Elms Depot, together with the last scheduled steam service from Clapham Junction to Kensington Olympia. Also included are fascinating 1947 views at Clapham Junction and 1931 views at Kensington Olympia. West of the capital are scenes at Woking and Guildford, with a wide variety of steam classes at work. From Guildford's Peasmarsh Junction, the lines to Horsham, Christ's Hospital and Shoreham are traced, with almost every station on this now-closed route featured, plus views at Brighton. Scenes at Basingstoke, Worting Junction Eastleigh and Southampton are followed by a detailed look at the Isle of Wight, where until 1966 the island's rail system was operated almost entirely by steam. The Isle of Wight's rail services were handled primarily by ex-LSWR Class '02' 0-4-4 tank locomotives which, with their pre-grouping stock, are shown between 1961 and 1966 at a wide variety of locations on the island.

  This is one of the later Marsden Rail introduced after the death of Michael Marsden. The commentary is much better than the previous volumes. Plenty of archive ... read more »

  Archival excellence
  
  Like most Marsden Rail productions this DVD is 100% archive material, and although the quality varies somewhat,the subject matter is always interesting.
