Between Salisbury and Wilton Junction there are still some clues of the former GWR line in the bridge numbering and other items. The recent aplpication of bridge identification plates has been enlightening!

I spent a day in Westbury - in sunshine and showers. The main reason for the visit was to get a shot of 08995, however, all I managed were quick shots from the train as I passed it. Still, I used the day to get some photos of the traffic on offer. It seemed much quieter thatn in previous visits - especially for freight.

Steve & Mike cooperated in the production of a book entitled West From Salisbury published by Millstream Books with proceeds going to a local Salisbury chartity, the Stars Appeal. I happened to run into them at Salisbury station today as they continue to publicise the book and the appeal.

Courtesy of RD, three of us were shown the inner sanctum at Waterloo on 7th July. Very impressed we were too. No wonder South West Trains has a good punctuality record!
