22nd March 1986
51407
Class 117 DMU set L427 (51365+59517+51407) is seen in the long closed Dinton station during a photo stop on the BR 'Wiltshire Wanderer' railtour organised by Basingstoke Area Manager, Gerald Daniels on 22/03/86, a short day tour making the most of the late winter daylight. Dinton station had closed on the 7th March 1966 and rationalisation of the former L&SWR mainline in 1967 from Salisbury to Exeter saw much of the route singled including here. The DMU is thus actually standing on the freight only line (the former up mainline) which was retained for just under two miles to serve RAF Chilmark in the west and RAF Baverstock and Royal Navy Dinton in the east. The military stores traffic to these three locations kept this section open until the late 1980's but this is believed to be the last tour onto the branch and it has all now closed. Adrian Nicholls.

29th May 1993
51342
Western Region DMU set L707 (51342+51384) makes for an unusual sight departing London Waterloo being used for driver route learning trips on May 29, 1993. Waterloo International station visible behind had been formerly opened 3 weeks earlier on 6th May 1993 the day services should have started through the Channel Tunnel. Sadly with tunnel construction delays there was to be a another 17 month wait for service to start and in the meantime Waterloo International was simply hired out for corporate events. BR EPS carried on training crews in the meantime with frequent trips from London to Folkestone using a modified EMU with cinema style seats while a hired 2-car DMU from Network SouthEast was used for drivers to learn the West London line from North Pole Depot and the mainline into London Waterloo in readiness for the launch of Eurostar in 1994.
