    Not really Worplesdon, there's a bridge out on Whitmoor Common. I'd not been there before or seen any photos from there, not the most inspiring location but always looking to try something new. There is a slight climb from Worplesdon but 60163 shut off just before the bridge, may be worth a cold day and a longer lens.

    Like the second view at Gomshall Matt, good colour on a dull day.

    Nice pictures Matt, and nice to see you at Gomshall. Hope you got back up the hill alright on your bike!

    I have just posted my video of the train at Woking and Gomshall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKNH1IaQdM0

    Nice to hear so much whistling by the footplate crew - I guess they were happy to have her back out on the mainline again!

    Yes it's a very good location both ways espacially the climb out of Guildford, i've done it several times quite peaceful
    just a few dog walkers. Just next to the low bridge at saltbox road if you ever try it.

    Nice one Steve even caught me dashing across the bridge with 2 cameras. I carried on to get several other shots in London and the E+C
    back in Guildford in the evening. Still lots of whistles from both Eastleigh crews. Great afternoon.
