With more than 40 years of memories behind me, it is perhaps not surprising that I think something of the spirit, romance, whatever you wish to call it has gone out of the railways. I can never really accept Class 153 as 'a train' and, similarly the emus in the south seem utterly devoid of character. Still, I have a self-appointed mission to document what I can before it too passes into history. One can not deny that South West Trains units look bright and clean so perhaps they just need to be in a setting to produce a more interesting photograph. This was what was going through my mind for this picture of Class 450 Desiro 450025 at Eastleigh with the 1528 to Portsmouth Harbour. P1180994
