Our steam correspondent, John Petley, is the author of 'Southern Loco-Hauled Finale'.
This book, consisting entirely of pictures from the author’s collection, is a commemoration of the final 25 years of these services.
Some of the workings covered, such as Waterloo-Exeter and Victoria-Gatwick, will be familiar to many. However, some rarely-photographed trains are depicted as well, such as the short-lived Newhaven-Manchester train, withdrawn in 1987 after only a year, and the cross-country services to Portsmouth via Guildford. A few memories will also be stirred by pictures of long-forgotten trains such as the “Crompton”-hauled 17.20 London Bridge-Uckfield and the overnight newspaper trains, complete with solitary Mk I coach. Overall, the author has deliberately chosen not to concentrate excessively on the better-known workings, for these (especially the West of England Line) have been adequately covered elsewhere.
