An unidentified 8 VEP on a Weymouth to Waterloo (92 head code), semi fast) runs through Redbridge Junction. It is probably around 1988. In this view, a head shunt part of a complex, which served a sleeper and rail preparation depot can be seen with the buffer stop almost at the river bank. The double track to the left heads across the river Test towards Totton, Bournemouth and eventually Weymouth. The double track to the right heads towards Romsey and Salisbury. Copyright Mick House.
Redbridge Junction in 2017. The buffer stop for the headshunt remains but the track depot has long since gone. Copyright Mick House.
