17th November 2010 - FOSW Rover

Ok. Couple of days left of the rover and this was pretty much my last outing with it. Went to Portsmouth via Salisbury on SWT and then FGW to Portsmouth. New route for me from St Denys to Portsmouth. Headed back towards Southampton Central to meet Peter for 1300ish but got off at St Denys to pop up to Eastleigh and then onwards to Brockenhurst. Then headed to Lymington Pier on the 158 (not been on this route on a 158 before). Then back over to Brockenhurst and then Southampton Central before a quick ride to Southampton Parkway and back. We then went to Romsey via Eastleigh (new route from Eastleigh onwards for me!) before circling back to Southampton Central. Another bash to Parkway and back before heading back to Plymouth via Salisbury on SWT to Exeter St Davids. Saw four new Class 66s, one 08, one 158, one 377 and one 450 for sight. Had 16 new trains for haulage and travelled 462 miles in total. Another good day!
