Route 66 Railtour Terry Waldron 66779 heads a 12 coach train, reporting number 1Z66 on 26 August 2017. Starting from Peterborough at 0704, via Finsbury park, Clapham Junction, Salisbury to Warminster 1230 (for the Salisbury Plain village of Imber) and then onto Bath and Bristol Temple Meads. The village of Imber, on the Salisbury Plain firing ranges is open for a limited time each year (this village was evacuated in 1943 and villagers have only been allowed to visit for limited periods since then - the church remains intact but almost all the other buildings have been demolished), today many old Routemaster buses along with a few of the new London Transport buses took passengers from Warminster Station to Imber and through many of the roads on Salisbury Plain that are normally only open to Military vehicles. You will see from the photos that the first 3 coaches and the loco were not on the platform, the same is true for the last 3 coaches. This must be the longest train to ever stop at Warminster. Regards Terry Waldron. The additional information concerning the route and history very interesting - Thank you very much, Terry, Taunton Ron Kosys Truro Footbridge Roger Winnen The footbridge, so often the grandstand for photographs at Truro, really deserves a photograph of its own right. Here is such a photograph snapped from an unusual location by Roger. Southampton Terminus Mike Morant Our only view of a train at Southampton Terminus very kindly supplied by Mike Morant.
