Great Western Railway publicity Basingstoke kept its separate Great Western station until 1st January 1932 when trains were diverted into the L. station with addition of one platform, still in use today, from the old station. To quote J. Bourne's description from his "History of the Great Western Railway" of 1846, he writes 'The angle at which the bridge crosses the river is so considerable that, although the space from quay to quay is only 80 feet, the space traversed by the railway is 164 feet. The original Abingdon station built by the Abingdon Railway was a very dismal place, and despite the many letters of complaint, nothing was done. www.greatwestern.org.uk /stat_1.htm

railwaymen Since the privatisation of Britain's railways in 1996, train services running over the majority of the remaining former LSWR territory are today operated by 'South West Trains', still from London's Waterloo Station. This British railway company originated from the opening of the London to Southampton Railway in 1838, developed a network of lines from London's Waterloo Station and principally served England's southern counties of Surrey, Hampshire, Dorset and Devon. The LSWR became a constituent of the 'Southern Railway' on the grouping of Britain's railways in 1923, which later became the Southern Region of 'British Railways' on nationalisation of the private railway companies in 1948. www.moonroller.com /jebbitt/railway.htm
