Eastleigh Works, 6th January 2026



On a frosty morning, 20096 (nearer) + 20107 (farther) were both running.


41162 has been at the works since 10th November. The labelling reads 'BAXT PAINT THIS SIDE'.


08454 has emerged from the Works after air tank re-certification, and is now shunting.


08454 then shunted this Pullman, believed to be former 'Brighton Belle' car 99537 280 AUDREY which has spent some months in the Works.


Dirty 66850 DAVID MAIDMENT OBE had just arrived on Works, and had been forecast to drag 67027 to Westbury. Now apparently rescheduled for Wednesday.


20107 was on its own when I returned from the shops, with no external sign of 20096.
