Leicester London Road, Hatfield and a Dorset Field Trip – Early 1962

At the beginning of this series, I warned you that I would include every railway photo of mine that I have scanned – good, not so good and bad. These are some of the worst! Even my notes have let me down, and I have no idea exactly when I took the photos at Leicester – I suspect when I went for my University interview, so probably early in 1962. As for Hatfield, my best guess is sometime in 1962, before I went on a geology and geography field trip with my school to Swanage in the first week of April.

Preserved LSWR T9 4-4-0 No 120 captured from a passing train in the Southampton area, probably on 2 April 1962.
I've been told this is probably the west facing bay at Southampton Central.
