Very good video.

5 *

Eastleigh is now a mere shadow of its former self. Its good that Knights rail have taken a 5 year lease out on the workshops but I remember the yards behind the station being full of wagons, and coaches and at the weekends dozens of locos stabled.

Now its just the odd Freightliner loco or GBRf loco thats there. Still at least we might get an openday from Knights Rail. If we do then expect to see me there getting as much of Eastleigh as I can.
