Eastleigh Arlington Works Visit

Arlington Fleet Services are happy to welcome organised groups of railway enthusiasts and

other interested parties to our site at Eastleigh Works.

Guided tours of our site are available on two Saturdays each month from Spring to Autumn

each year. Parties of 15 to 30 can be accommodated. The cost is £15 per person, paid in cash

to our Guide on the day. All money goes to the Arlington nominated charity which changes

each year. There is a minimum charge of £225 per group (15 x £15).

Tours start at our entrance gate on Campbell Road promptly at 10:00 with a Safety Briefing

from our Lead Guide. Visitors should arrive from 09:30. 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 and can involve walking 3 to 4 miles in total.

All 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.

Anyone with a health condition (Diabetes, heart problems, breathing problems etc.) should

notify our guides on the day so they can be aware in case of any problems during the tour.

We 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.

Photography for personal use only 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.

There 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.
