An Evening at Eastleigh in 1960

 
   
   Monday 6th June 1960 was day 3 of a four day break based at Eastleigh. During the day, I    had already had over 4 hours on Basingstoke station in the morning, had 35021 New Zealand Line from Basingstoke to Southampton, 30788 Sir Urre of the Mount from Southampton back to Basingstoke, followed by 30905 Tonbridge from Basingstoke back to Eastleigh. I then spent the evening of Whit Monday on Eastleigh station, where there were many additional services running from Bournemouth to Waterloo. Below is what I saw.
