My only trip (so far) to Woking station was on 18 August 1986. Although the weather broke down as the day went on I got some good shots. As well as all the Southampton and Bournemouth route trains, the line also carries all the Salisbury and West of England traffic and the Portsmouth Direct line trains. It was pretty busy with a wide variety of trains, both passenger and freight.

Woking is a location I've only ever been to once. It has a very busy service with trains on the main line to Bournemouth and Weymouth as well as the Salisbury and Exeter route. In addition there are suburban trains and the main line electrics down to Portsmouth. I think all the above pictures were taken in about an hour back in 1986. Most in not all of the locos and units featured here no longer exist.
