Andy Mace spent time on Bournemouth Central station with an additional day trip to Basingstoke, where steam-hauled expresses were passing through at speed. Merchant Navy Class No. 35021 New Zealand Line was seen at Bournemouth Central, Standard Class 5 No. 73089 Maid of Astolat at Basingstoke and West Country Class No. 34003 Plymouth was on Bournemouth sheds. Thanks are due to Andy for the use of the photos, reminding us how lucky we were to see steam on the main line as an everyday occurrence. Andy's bonus was a footplate ride to Bournemouth West.
