eastwestdivide Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I meant around the general Stenson Junction area as suggested in post 64 above - Stenson Road bridge isn't girder (https://goo.gl/maps/No8g4cGpW8E2), nor is Buckford Lane (https://goo.gl/maps/m7LwFx8HKTp).

Rivercider Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Class 50 on the Southern next. But where is this, please? Scan-151002-0001.jpg It is an Exeter - Waterloo service arriving at the west end of Basingstoke, 47367 with a Eastleigh - Tees Speedlink approaches Basingstoke 11/4/83 cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 I have been trying to think of lines where class 165s would run parallel with tube stock in leafy surroundings, and can only come up with the service on the lines through Amersham. Am I correct? And is it possible to narrow it down a bit. There appears to be a small station in the distance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 At first I thought this might be Hither Green, but I seem to remember there being third rail all around the depot. Maybe it could be the older part of Salisbury? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Hither Green I think - see http://www.kentrail.org.uk/hither_green_depot_2.html (2nd picture) for a comparison. The right-hand 33 looks like a 33/2, and those tended not to stray too far from the SE division before the mid-80s or so.

Fat Controller Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 At first I thought this might be Hither Green, but I seem to remember there being third rail all around the depot. Maybe it could be the older part of Salisbury? 33xxx 1975.jpg All the running lines around the shed and adjacent PW yard were electrified, but the third-rail didn't extend to the loco depot tracks. No reason for it to; units were/are dealt with at Grove Park, whilst the 'pure' electrics were based at Stewart's Lane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Well, thankyou. It seems that maybe I should not doubt my first thoughts on locations. However, I would not entirely agree with the 33/2s not straying from the SE division, because a quick look at my notes for 1967/8 show that I saw D6592/3/4/6 on Cliffe - Uddingston cement trains as far north as Lincolnshire at that time; which means they would have reached York on a regular basis.

Point - but I bet they were straight back on the return empties or whatever, not sitting in a depot remote from home. In that era the Slimline Cromptons were closely monitored.

Fair point, but exception rather than the rule I suspect, and to be fair, I did say "tended not to" (sitting on the hedge/fencing my bets)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 I wondered if this might be in the Healey Mills area, but I am only guessing really? And somewhat unlikely as 37717 was a Cardiff based loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And somewhat unlikely as 37717 was a Cardiff based loco. 37717 6:90.jpg You could well be right about it being the Healey Mills area; there was a regular 'Metals' sector service from Tees yard to Cardiff, which I believe also served Cobra at Wakefield. Not unlikely that Cardiff/Thornaby locos would work through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Can you get a clearer image of the name on the building centre right. Looks like "CHATTANOOGA" !! May help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Sorry Shadow. I already looked at that, but with so many references to places in the USA (whether I tried to exclude them or not) and not knowing the location of the building, I gave up.

Poor Old Bruce Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I wondered if this might be in the Healey Mills area, but I am only guessing really? And somewhat unlikely as 37717 was a Cardiff based loco. 37717 6:90.jpg It's Belper Goods yard as was, taken from the A6 I think. The train is travelling in the down direction and that is the 134 (or is it 135?) MP from St P. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
