Having run round its train at Ropley station, 34016 'Bodmin' is now facing the wrong way running tender first. It will lead the 15.35 service to New Alresford a journey of just over two and a half miles. This is incorporated with the present day ten mile line that has extended all the way to Alton. Notice that the photograph is taken off the platform end on the embankment away from the crowds. As we had been issued with hi-viz tabards we were permitted such access and felt very important!
