A very Happy Christmas Day to one and all ![]() A Christmas Card picture from Guy Vincent who wites :- Thanks for your seasonal offering that arrived courtesy of Royal Mail today. By way of return here is an image from 2013 from the digital route-refresh file I compiled and keep for easy reference should the need ever arise. It shows a rearward-facing view of Dean station on the Wilts/Hants border looking towards Romsey on a cold January day in 2013. The level crossing here was upgraded in 2015 and now has full barriers and obstacle detection equipment in place. It is a fast stretch of line, 85mph in both directions with signals either side of the crossing offering protection until it is proven to be clear and the barriers are down. Lines here are 'Up and Down Dean', up being towards Romsey. From Romsey you are on the 'Down Test Valley' towards Redbridge, Up being vice-versa. This goes back to the days of the now closed Andover Jctn-Redbridge via Stockbridge 'Sprat and Winkle' line the closed section of which diverged in a northerly direction at Kimbridge Junction between Romsey and Dunbridge. See Wikipedia for more info. Many thanks Guy for your very valued contributions. Copyright. Christmas Day and Long Rock is at Rest, but not the photographers!!
