Lines from Waterloo occupy a triangular area with London at its apex, Portsmouth in the east and a direct line or railway along the southern flank reaching Weymouth in the west with Exeter being included as well. Here in this volume of about 80 colour pictures are scenes of railway operations roughly covering the period immediately before railways were taken out of the public sector to the middle of the 2020s. It illustrates not only how the immediate topography has subtly changed during an approximately 30 year period, but also how the trains themselves have changed from the abandonment of slam-door stock to more modern units with sliding or plug doors, some of which themselves have come and gone.
