"On 1st August 1962, I was a passenger in the second coach of this train, when suddenly there was a change from running on rails to running on the platform.

Fortunately, there were no serious injuries, and after "all change" on to buses, I was able to complete my trip - to Eastleigh Railway Works Open Day."
