5Z56 at Eastleigh

DCR 60055 hauls a Norwich Crown Point T&RMSD to Eastleigh T&RMSD service comprising at 8 former GA Mark III coaches. The consist was coaches 12027, 12041, 12151, 11094, 12019, 12115, 12026 & 12012 seen passing the large Eastleigh East yard complex. First time I've ever seen a tug on passenger stock, albeit an ECS working.

 

This was booked to go into Eastleigh depot on the bi-directional lines under Campbell road bridge that would have been a great location but took the depot loop line that spurs off the Fareham line, which was always a possibility, so I opted for the "death bridge" vantage point, which was fortuitous as there would have been no shot from Campbell Road bridge.
