SUMMARY:Roaming Around London with a Camera
DESCRIPTION:Those of us who live in London are very lucky for the sheer variety of rolling stock and liveries that can be seen and photographed. This is a quick-fire show of images taken in Greater London over the last two to three years that showcase that variety\, with an emphasis on the new and unusual. Although Geoff did a show under this title at Shenfield a while ago\, this is a fully updated presentation and Geoff has not shown any of these images at the branch previously. \nGeoff is now retired after working for London Underground. He is a familar figure at the branch and is to be found collecting money on the door of evert meeting. In addition to this important branch role he is also the RO Editor for fixtures and adverts and also writes the TfL notes for the Urban Railways section.

All money goes to the Arlington nominated charity which changes each year. There is a minimum charge of £150 per group. \nTours start at our new entrance gate on Campbell Road promptly at 10:00 with a Safety Briefing from our Lead Guide. Visitors should arrive at least 15 minutes before. Minimum age is 12 and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult who agrees to take full responsibility for the young person. Our yard has 750V electrified 3rd rail which will be on during the tour. Traffic on site can be busy with many vans and HGVs present. Tours typically last between one and two hours. \nAll visitors should wear stout footwear and a hi viz jacket. The site will be working during the tour and all instructions from our guides must be followed without question. Anyone without a hi viz jacket will be restricted to just the roadways and walking routes. We are unable to supply hi viz jackets. \nWe aim to show visitors as much of the site as possible but we cannot guarantee access to any particular area or item of rolling stock during the tour. Some of our tenants do not allow visitors to enter their areas so the guide will show the best viewing points to see as much as possible in those areas. \nPhotography is allowed for the most part and the Safety Briefing at the start will identify any rolling stock or areas where photography is not allowed. All photographs and video taken during the event must be for your own use ONLY and cannot be published in any media\, printed or online. \nThere is no car parking available on site\, except for Disabled badge holders. There are plenty of car parks in Eastleigh town centre. Just follow the signs. The nearest ones to the Works are opposite the station and just further down the main road at the Swan Centre. There is also a small pay and display car park just south of the Campbell Road junction\, between the main road and the railway line.

SUMMARY:The Selsey Tramway
DESCRIPTION:Selsey at the southern tip of the Manhood peninsula has only ever had one rather difficult road to gain access to and from Chichester. In the late 1800’s the idea of a rail link was seen as a futuristic transport improvement. The committee set up to carry out the project appointed the young H.F.Stevens as engineer.  Stevens who was noted for being thrifty realized that for legal reasons if the line was designated as a tramway construction and operating costs could be kept to a minimum. Given the title “The Hundred of Manhood and Selsey Tramway” in many respects the line resembled a railway and the first train of locomotive and three bogie coaches left Chichester in 1897.\n \nFor the next 38 years it suffered several setbacks but played an important part in the development of Selsey and became a much appreciated institution although its many idiosyncrasies resulted in it being the butt of much humour.\n \nEventually the development of the motor bus gave a cheaper\, more frequent and reliable service resulting in the Tramway’s\, or West Sussex Railway as it had become known\, closure in 1935.\n \nVery little is left to be seen today. It closed before the advent of colour photography so the limited surviving pictures are black and white but fortunately much has been written to record the line’s quaint history.
