01/07/1956 Newbury-Winchester District A journey on the 12.25 p.m. Newbury-Winchester, found traffic rather sparse, and the stations, including Winchester, in a very poor state of repair. A strange mixture of classes was working passenger trains on 1st July. No. 30287 worked into Newbury from Eastleigh and later worked forward to Didcot. No. 2240 gave the writer a very spirited run on the return 2.31 p.m. Winchester to Newbury, also working forward to Didcot, 56 m.p.h. being reached after leaving Churn, the engine riding very steadily, considering the duties for which they were designed . No. 3740 was on the Lambourn Branch trains, the Diesel rail-car having, as usual, failed. SLS/195608
