The Anonymous Widower

Basingstoke And Salisbury – 26th August 2026

The next leg was between Basingstoke and Salisbury, as I just missed the train at Basingstoke.

 

Note.

1. The four electrified tracks continue between Basingstoke and Worting Junction, where the West of England Line diverges from the South West Main Line.
2. The Ludgershall Branch leaves the West of England Main Line between Andover and Grately stations and goes North.

On arrival at Salisbury station I took these pictures.

 

Note.

1. The platforms are long as they are used for splitting and joining trains.
2. The Class 159 Trains don’t seem to be as good at splitting and joining as are Hitachi trains.
3. There is a typical Costa coffee stall.
4. But there is nowhere to sit or stand with your drink.
