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.
