After a waterstop at Hedge End the tour would then continue through Eastleigh before taking the Single Line through Chandlers Ford and onwards to Romsey. Following this the tour would then continue to Salisbury and onwards towards Warminster and Westbury. The tour would then continue down through Bradford Upon Avon and continue to Bath where passengers would alight for an afternoon in Bath.
