The final working of the day on the Watercress Line,

I believe, was an empty coaching stock run as the train was not advertised on the timetable and there was only a handful of passengers on board who appeared to be staff. 196 'Errol Lonsdale' stands at New Alresford with the stock from Ropley marking the end of the day's operation on the fledgling heritage line. Note the attractive Southern signal box on the up platform.
