    Evening all

    I have added the first part of a large collection of Bulleid light Pacific photos in service & withdrawn in the 1950’s & 60’s, some photos are of railtours, but a lot are of normal services in the late 60’s both with and without nameplates,
    including now preserved 34023 Blackmore Vale minus plates & crest

    26th shot is Basingstoke this one taken from the London end of platform 1. I note that in many of the photos of both WC and MN the photographers favoured position is the Southampton end of platform 1 which is longer than the other platforms and gives a view across to the shed,turntable and coaling station. If I had a camera in those days my photos would have been very similar.
