Lymington Slammer - 06/04/10

Before heading to the South West we make a quick stop into Kings Cross to see 43068 and 43080 depart for Sunderland.
421497 "Freshwater" is our Lymington Slammer today. Taken just before our first trip of the day.
The Driver making sure the splendid headboard was put on correctly.
After the first trip completed with 1497 at Lymington Pier, memories of Slammers on the mainline definitely have been brought back!

No Lymington visit would be complete without walking to the Harbour to get that classic shot in. 1497 heads back to Brockenhurst.
After the previous shot we found a place to eat to make full use of the warm weather, this allowed us to get a couple more shots of the slammer crossing the habour.
