It once had considerable railway infrastructure in the form of a locomotive shed and extensive goods yards served by a wide variety of steam motive power. In this volume we look at both the former LSWR mainline and the S\u0026amp;D route which always formed an operationally awkward junction with its neighbour. Today the remaining emasculated mainline, singled for much of its length, is served by DMUs – a far cry indeed from the multi-portioned expresses from Waterloo to destinations in the West Country and the packed holiday trains from the North and Midlands to Bournemouth of former days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback, 80 pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Transport Treasury","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":58772720746879,"sku":"9781913893774","price":13.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/files\/Templecombe-WEB-scaled_1.jpg?v=1791892419","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/templecombe-9781913893774","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
