    Hi Neil,

    A few more locations -
    38/63 34037 Southampton Central with overline house under construction behind loco. Early 1967?
    40/63 34037 Reading Southern shed? The GW signal with splitting distant is a a clue.
    41/63 34038 Southampton Central, footbridge is still in use.
    45/63 34040 Southampton Central, sign on roof of Gaumont theatre (now Mayflower) just visible.
    58/63 34040 Worting Jn

    Cheers, Neil

    Hi Neil,

    Location update - 85/88 34041 is Basingstoke with GW signals in the background.

    84/81 The image is 35019, so edited into the wrong folder. Not Worting Jn as that wasn't electrified until late 1966. I suspect the location is St Johns footbridge between Woking Jn and Brookwood. The local lines were electrified from the late 1930's but the through lines were not done until 1966.

    Cheers, Neil
