Lymington and the Isle of Wight

10th March 2009

A collection featuring vintage EMUs, starting with SWT's 'heritage' blue-grey liveried CIG unit at Lymington and crossing the Solent to examine the former London Transport '1938 stock' currently plying between Ryde and Shanklin. Linking the two sections, appropriately enough, is a shot of 'Cedred', one of the old BR 'Sealink' Isle of Wight ferries making her final voyage from Lymington to meet her fate at Southampton.
