This is a 10 part day by day while on a Railway Holiday with Swindon as a base

Day 4 has me travelling on Class 158s between places where I would be filming, starting at Swindon, caught the 0721 Swindon to Porstmouth Harbour but before I caught this train, I was at Swindon for 0700 to see what was on 1L10 which could had 43129 but it turned out it went via the Honeybourne Line to Oxford!

After catching the 0721 to Portsmouth Harbour, I got off at Salisbury to change trains from a First Great Western Class 158 to a South West Trains Class 158 and travelled to Dean! I got off at Dean to film a hour worth of trains, after a hour, I boarded another South West Trains Class 158 and got off at Mottisfont & Dunbridge which is where I caught a engineers train Class 70 top and tail, 70810 with my last required Class 70, 70801 on the rear! A hour later I took another South West Trains Class 158 to Redbridge, to film some South West Trains DMUs and EMUs with CrossCountry Voyagers and FGW Class 158s, a hour later after Redbridge, I went to Millbrook to see what freight came through with South West Trains, CrossCountry and First Great Western units passing through, after this station, I skipped Southampton Central and move to St. Denys which I met a new friend... which turned out to be me! but this was the station when 3655 Lancealot was born! and did what I did as a tribute to 3655Lancealot! but also was there to film some trains, a hour later I went to Swaythling and filmed some more trains at this station including a Freightliner Class 66, 66528 painted in the powerhaul livery! A hour later was suppose to film at Southampton Airport Parkway but decided to head back to Swindon because my last HST required was suppose to be there at 1845 but ended up being on the 1815 to Carmarthan! after a changed at Romsey Railway Station from a South West Trains Class 158 to a First Great Western Class 158, I went to Swindon and filmed there for a hour. After a hour at Swindon, travelled on the same sprinter which I travelled on from this morning to Sailsbury but went to Chippenham to film there for a hour, this would only see HSTs but a HST from London terminated here due to Chippenham to Bath Spa being shut for engineering work, after a hour, boarded another Class 158 back to Swindon to end the show, filmed 18th August 2015
