444011, SW 09.35 London Waterloo-Weymouth (1W19, 32L), Holton Heath station It is just after midday but it is ridiculously overcast and dull. Witness the strong reflection of the up colour light on the side of 444011. The unit is passing through Holton Heath station forming the 09.35 Waterloo to Weymouth service. Holton Heath station opened relatively late in 1924 and was built to serve the huge and strategically important Royal Navy cordite works. This site had a comprehensive network of tracks that connected to a short branch that led down to Rockley Jetty in Poole Harbour. Here the cordite was sent by coaster to Gosport. The plant was closed by the RN just after World War II with most of the site now occupied by the Holton Heath industrial estate but with plenty of evidence of its former life next to the station.
