My first rail journey of 2018 started at Salisbury, taking a very tired looking and rattly
GWR▸ Class 158 service to Southampton. Changed there onto a Southern Class 377 along the West Coastway line to Ford. Another change onto a following Southern Class 313 originating at Portsmouth & Southsea, destination Littlehampton.
On the return I took a Southern Class 313 from Littlehampton as far as Emsworth. Changed there onto a following Brighton - Southampton Southern Class 377. Then from Southampton back to Salisbury on a
SWR» Class 158.
Everything on time and a thoroughly enjoyable bash for Finn and I. For the bargain Railcard price of £17.50 Off Peak Day Return, thanks to Southern's very cheap
via Barnham fares. For example you can, with that routeing, get from Weymouth to Ramsgate for just £31.70 (£20.95 Railcard) Off Peak Return. Even cheaper if you wanted to attempt such a return journey in one day!
Oh, and it's not just GWR who do retro
BR▸ liveries. I spotted this Class 313 at Littlehampton:
