I am glad that 450080 is just leaving Lymington Town station as the best shutter speed that I could get was 1/250th second and even then with an ISO of 8000! The unit was working the 15.57 Lymington Pier to Brockenhurst, a journey of some five miles and twenty-nine chains with just this intermediate stop. The question to be asked is why does this service carry the reporting number of 1J40? A class one is 'Express Passenger' service and this one is far from this! When I last visited Lymington Town station the land now covered by the flats was occupied by warehousing. However, that was fourteen years ago when my son was five and he is now at university. Where has the time gone?
