Around Eastleigh (15) - 25 August 2013

Eastleigh is a place I can reach easily at short notice and I am determined to record periodically the place and its visitors in the early 21st century. Equipment and colour schemes come and go and, one day, my photographs, amongst thousands of others, might be a valuable source of reference. To take some of these photographs requires some motivation which is not immediately forthcoming from South West Trains which I find unremittingly dull in spite of the outwardly bright and clean appearance. This picture is as much about the station as the train but I had doubts about posting it. I like the reflection of the waiting figure in Class 450 Desiro unit 450109 at platform 2 which was joined by the 5 cars of Class 444 Desiro 444026 before departing with the 1511 to Waterloo.
