33001 climbs away from Salisbury on the approach to the tunnel to the east of the town leading the 10.14 Bristol Temple Meads to Portsmouth Harbour service. Notice the banner repeater signal that indicates the position of the home signal on a rather nice bracket signal just behind me. It was needed due to the gradient and the sharp curve that restricted sighting and that all this was located just before the tunnel. Also, notice the concrete footbridge that spans the line that was probably a product of the Southern's concrete manufacturing plant at Exmouth Junction.
