An excellent afternoon spent at Eastleigh on the South Western Mainline where we see plenty of services from South Western Railway, Cross Country and freight from DB Cargo UK, Colas Rail, GBRF and a Railtour from Steam Dreams
Eastleigh was built by the London and Southwestern Railway company in 1839, when the station was built however it was actually known as Bishopstoke, this was later changed to Bishopstoke Junction in 1852, then it became Eastleigh and Bishopstoke in 1889 and finally just Eastleigh in 1923.
Eastleigh has always been a busy station with a branch line serving Salisbury and Romsey which was opened in 1847 and its also home to the Eastleigh Works which was constructed in 1891 and still sees plenty of usage each and every year.
My next station is going to be Shawford.
