Southern Remnents David Tozer Roger Winnen Clan Line is turned at Yeovil Railway Centre - see Features Severn Beach problems Mike Roach Saturday 8th July 2017 was not a good day on the Severn Beach line with the "new" (24 year old) trains. At the time of checking 12 trains have been cancelled. Problems, one guesses with the Turbo Unit. The problem was apparently due to staff shortage. Fisherton Tunnel Terry Waldron ![]() The 8F (48151) started off from Swanage via Southampton to Salisbury (the photo shows the train about to enter the East Portal of the tunnel). At Salisbury the train loco was changed to 34067, (Tangmere) which took the train onto London Victoria. This would entail going back through the Salisbury tunnel and taking the left 'road' (at Tunnel Junction) to Andover. I took the photo from above the scrub grass you see in Roger Winnens photos, there is a park that allows you to get to a fence (so it is not quite as precarious as you imagine). Braunton was coming out of the west end of the tunnel (Salisbury end) and stopped in Platform 4. Braunton had brought its train from London Victoria (and was first day of Great Britain VII). After taking water Braunton took the train onto Exeter, where steam gave way to diesel, and the train ended up at Truro. (so Day 2 of Great Britain VII started from Truro.
