Trainspotting – Basingstoke
Date: 31st August 1963
Event: Trainspotting trip, Gloucester to Basingstoke
I travelled by train from Gloucester (Central) to Basingstoke on 31st August 1963 (a summer Saturday). I had never been there before but it sounded great….and it was! My notebook pages in this post show the vast number of steam locomotives still working at this late stage, post-Beeching. My photos taken at Basingstoke show BR Standard Class 5 4-6-0 No 73084 ‘Tintagel’ on a Waterloo to Bournemouth train, ‘West Country’ Class 4-6-2 No 34019 ‘Bideford’ slipping while restarting a Birkenhead to Poole train and ‘Hall’ Class 4-6-0 No 5932 ‘Haydon Hall’ on a Wolverhampton (LL) to Portsmouth train. The final photo was taken at Reading and shows ‘Castle’ Class 4-6-0 No 5076 ‘Gladiator’ on a Cheltenham to Paddington train. While at Reading I also saw ‘Castle’ Class 4-6-0s No 5038 ‘Morlais Castle’ (station pilot) and 7035 ‘Ogmore Castle’ on a Paddington to Worcester express. What a fantastic day!
My recent book, ‘The Times Britain’s Hidden Railways’, explores 50 long-lost railway routes that can be walked or cycled across the length and breadth of Britain.
My new book, the new edition of ‘Lost Railway Walks’, exploring over 100 of Britain’s lost railways, is published by Collins.
