March 25th 2022 Meeting at Brockenhurst Village Hall
Jim Boudreau presents “South from Templecombe – A journey on the
S&D and a lot more”
A journey with a difference. Not just looking at trains and
stations but also the staff that caused the trains to run.
The talk goes back
to the formation of the Dorset Central Railway right up to recent scenes that
show that there is still some activity along the line currently. Several
families feature and jobs not normally mentioned featured.
Station staff are
illustrated and where known names are given to faces.
Finally there is a
feature on the Wimborne area, the original S&D terminus and views of
Southern push-pull trains.
