Title: History - Gosport Post by: CyclingSid on December 29, 2020, 09:22:21 I have been looking through the Gosport Railway Society site http://grsupdate40.blogspot.com/ (http://grsupdate40.blogspot.com/)
Intrigued by this photo http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bf19gXtBaHc/WEH0u13XhLI/AAAAAAAAIvs/KRek5RVV7Dg_VPFFMOHcsz6wU3k2trulACK4B/s1600/fareham.jpg (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bf19gXtBaHc/WEH0u13XhLI/AAAAAAAAIvs/KRek5RVV7Dg_VPFFMOHcsz6wU3k2trulACK4B/s1600/fareham.jpg) when did third rail get to Fareham. Also this made me smile http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xxMTOV174eg/WD4EAbAFZ6I/AAAAAAAAIgo/2Qvc4ssSRTETB9iLfJwkxFF92TNFBVLmACK4B/s1600/loop.jpg (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xxMTOV174eg/WD4EAbAFZ6I/AAAAAAAAIgo/2Qvc4ssSRTETB9iLfJwkxFF92TNFBVLmACK4B/s1600/loop.jpg) shortest passing loop, or all you need to get round a shopping trolley. and also you will find a timetable for a direct service from Weymouth to Gosport.

Edit to add - May 1990 from Eastleigh and pretty much the same time (personal recollection) from St Denys through to Hilsea / Bedhampton This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
