Weymouth Quay

The Weymouth Quay branch was well known for being a place where main line passenger trains could be seen running down the centre of the street.



All the pictures on this page were taken on 15 August 1987, which was the last year that timetabled trains operated over the line.



At the time, there was one train per day. This ran empty to Weymouth Quay and then conveyed passengers to Waterloo. These pictures show 33 114 with the empty stock working.



As the train only proceeded at walking speed it was easy to get plenty of pictures of the same train in different places along the line. On this occasion there were no parked cars blocking the path of the train!
