THE Mid Hants Railway has appealed for help in compiling an archive of memories of times past travelling by steam train.
Everyone is welcome to share their memories as the Watercress Line is looking for a broad range of stories to paint a picture of what life was like on the railways between 1940 and 1965.
Examples could include memories of evacuation or troop movements on the railways during the Second World War, collecting goods from the stations, venturing on holiday to the south coast or even emigrating through Southampton docks – all using the steam railway.
