Plastic Pigs Rule! Full electrification and new Class 442 EMUs. On the left no. (44)2410 will shortly head away from me on its way to Weymouth. On the right fellow unit no. (44)2411 has started out from Weymouth and will be setting off for London shortly. The station is a bit scruffy to say the least, but in later years it will receive a much-needed make-over, including new glazing for that overall roof.
