Ill fated rail tour at Winchfield Crowds mill about on the up platform at Winchfield Railway Station during a scheduled water stop for Battle Of Britain Class Locomotive No.34067 "Tangmere". The rail tour hauled by "Tangmere" ran from Weymouth to London Waterloo and all was well on the up journey but during the return trip a cotter pin came out of the locomotive's motion, allowing the connecting rod to come loose and drop onto the third rail just a few miles from this point bringing the train to a halt, blocking the slow line for 3 1/2 hours. It could have been far worse and anyone interested in the potential for disaster that a detached connecting rod can cause is advised to look up information about the Settle disaster, 1960.

M3, westbound The M3 motorway runs for 59 miles from Sunbury-on-Thames to Southampton. Construction started 1968 and was finally completed in 1995. The Winchester bypass through Twyford Downs was the most controversial section to be built.

Old style footbridge BMLI - 117A (39m 65c).

The next station towards London, Fleet, had a similar footbridge but it was replaced (Aug 2014) with an enclosed modern bridge with lift towers. I'd be surprised if that happened here given the much smaller number of commuters who use this station.
