Oh how i wish to celbrate the 25th Anniversay of NSE for 1 week they would return to that traction! (sadly not enough slamdoor trains left (and the fact they are not allowed on the mainline anymore) Kinda puts a raincloud over the idea! :(
I don't know who removed badstyle84's comment but it wasn't me. I was just about to though. I apologise to anyone who saw this idiots comments. There's always one it seems.
3:13 lol what i dont get is that like last year near the end the fast trains started not to stop at basingstoke and go through yet there used to be every train stopping
SWT's Weymouth line services seem to alternate: stopping either at Winchester and Woking; missing out Basingstoke entirely, or running from Basingstoke non-stop through to Waterloo. It's probably done to try to encourage passengers onto the underused stopping trains to Waterloo. In reality, stoppers still run fast from Woking; stopping only at Surbiton, Wimbledon and Clapham. I'm afraid that's the trouble with living so close to London but, still, all the Exeter line trains stop there.
I am guessing that the 'Intercity' services here in this video were used for the London Waterloo-Exeter St Davids route. Is this correct?

@uhegbu If you're referring to the 47/8s and the Mk2s I'm guessing they're Cross Country NW/SE route. I used to take it from Coventry to Southampton

In an age where "real" trains have almost disappeared it's great to see such excellent archive footage. Thanks for posting this
