bécasse Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 It is after 18 October 1936 when the new signal box opened with colour light signalling, one of the new Westinghouse signal heads can be clearly seen. The train's composition strongly suggests that it is an outer-suburban via Woking service and two of the three possible routes (Portsmouth Direct and Alton) were electrified from summer 1937, however the Basingstoke service remained steam worked for another three decades.

Wickham Green too Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The second vehicle appears to be a former SECR First ( possibly downgraded to Third ) in an otherwise LSWR set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bécasse Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 3 hours ago, Wickham Green too said: The second vehicle appears to be a former SECR First ( possibly downgraded to Third ) in an otherwise LSWR set. I suspect that it is a former 1st/2nd class SECR composite (formed 2/2/1/1/1/2) some of which had been downgraded to 3rd class by the late 1930s.
