  1. The Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway runs along the Kent Coast from Hythe to Dungeness (almost 15 x miles). It is the world’s smallest public railway! This is locomotive Number 10 called Doctor Syn which has been in service since 1931. It is seen here at the end of the working day about to go “On Shed” for the night.

As a part of the re-signalling, Haslemere Signalbox closed in late October 2025 with signalling now transferred to Basingstoke.

  5. The Hanseatic Nature is a cruise ship operated by Hapag Lloyd. In this delightful shot, the Hanseatic Nature can be seen in the background with one of her tenders along side the quay ferrying passengers to and from the ship. This is Cowes on the Isle of Wight and the Hanseatic Nature will be on her way later to Guernsey.

    Lunar Eclipse.

    A “Lunar Eclipse” occurs when the Earth passes directly in front of the Sun and the Moon. The shadow appears as a dark area on the bright lunar surface and is sometimes known as a “Blood Moon” given the orange/brown shadow. This shot taken on Bembridge Down on the Isle of Wight shows a clear crescent of the Moon and shadowed outline of the rest of it. This picture was taken approximately 80 x minutes after the Eclipse had started.

  13. Having arrived at Wooton from Smallbrook Jct, O2 Tank Locomotive 24 “Calbourne” pulls forward to run round its train. This is on the “Isle of Wight Steam Railway.”

  14. It’s been a day of Sunshine and heavy showers, but the Sun is now setting. Petersfield Station on the London Waterloo to Portsmouth line is almost in silhouette against the bright golden sky.
