Pleasant parcels

Viewed from the footbridge at Mount Pleasant level crossing, tidy looking 33117 passes Southampton Bevois Park sidings with a parcels train in the summer of 1983.

Thanks to John Dedman for identifying the train, this is likely to be 3o21, the 2108 Preston to Southampton Western Docks.

Prominent are the cement hoppers belonging to Rugby cement which, at the time, were filled by a daily train from Halling in Kent. Also visible are several ERF (Foden) cement tankers which would have been used to distribute the cement locally.

Bevois Park sidings were disused for many years but returned to use as an aggregate terminal in December 2015. In 2023 the terminal is served several times a week with stone from Whatley Quarry in Somerset.
