Lymington Station is seen in the late afternoon sun, a chap called Ian looks after it (previously he looked after Sway) the interior is full of archive shots and other interesthing things, well worth paying a visit.

There are some very lucky people out there....

I was lucky to see the Green Class 421 No. 1498 'Farringford' on my final day. It is seen arriving at Brockenhurst.

Farringford is seen awaiting departure.
