Mid Hants Railway - Steam Illuminations - November 2024

In late November, the 'Steam Illuminations' returned to the Mid Hants Railway for the festive period of 2024. The Watercress Line's very own moving lights show has returned to the Hampshire countryside! This event has proven to be hugely successful, following its introduction back in 2020.

A two train service is in operation on both days, consisting of two departures from Alresford and Alton.

We ventured to 'The Alps' on the last two days of November to witness the action, with LSWR S15 No. 506 and SR Unrebuilt Battle of Britain No. 34072 '257 Squadron' handling the services from Alresford and Alton respectively. Presently, 34072 is on long term hire to the Railway, courtesy of Southern Locomotives Ltd.

All scenes were captured on Friday 29th and Saturday 30th November 2024.
