Vellis Vale - Pines Express

the Somerset & Dorset and Great Western Railways

The photos & videos follow an off shoot of the Pines Express as it uses the S&D & GWR joint line along Vellis Vale on its journey between Southampton and Manchester. The S&D is the Somerset and Dorset Railway and was jointly owned by the London South Western & Midland Railways and GWR is the Great Western Railway. In 1923 the London South Western Railway was merged into the Southern Railway and Midland Railway was merged into the London Midland & Scottish Railway. In 1948 the line becomes part of British Railways.
