Welcome to my new home at Zenfolio.com.
These photos previously formed my large British Rail through the 1970's and 80's gallery at Fotopic which sadly is no more. Most of the 3000+ photos are now uploaded with the exception of the European and US photos which will follow later.

What has taken a long time is restoring the captions as over the years many people had kindly contributed to the site, correcting details or adding information and this has been lost with Fotopic. The captions have now been added to all the photos. Some of the captions I'm sure are wrong and will be corrected. Please let me know if you spot any errors or are able to identify any 'unknown' locations.

The extremely popular accident photos from Control we have a Problem also previously at Fotopic have also been uploaded and captions should now be complete. Again if you spot any errors or ommisions let me know.

The following new galleries have been started:- Motorail includes brochures, publicity and photos. Classes 33, 47 and 73 are compendiums of photos from the Regional galleries for ease of searching they display in number order.

If you would like to start a gallery at Zenfolio please use my referal code 13U-HSH-3DM and save yourself some money.

You may also be interested in my other website www.1S76.com The Rise and Fall of Cross-Country train services to and from Brighton.

If you have any comments or corrections to the captions please let me know.

What a magnificent collection! Thank you for saving the photos and preserving them for us. I lived on the Southern 1947-62 and 1986-92 so lots of great memories.

Fascinating - what a great collection. Wish I had taken more in the early period but a) film was expensive b) cameras were large and taking pics whilst working for BR had to be done carefully to avoid career limiting! OF course the other thing is that it all seemed so run of the mill at the time - seemed like it was never going to change (or at least only very slowly) and I guess if the changes since had been unqualified improvements then we wouldn't look back with so much fondness BUT of course now there is no 1S86 and if there was it would be some unbearable DMU and everything would be so predictable. Watching the cross-countrys run round or loco swap at Reading from the canteen on the top floor of Western Tower would be something to see again if the tardis would work properly....
