A scan from the original Agfa slide showing the A1X 'Terrier' loco 32636 leaving Havant with the last "Hayling Billy" branch line passenger train to Hayling Island 3rd November 1963.

The line was soon ripped up after this event and the bridge across Langstone Harbour was blown up, although the foundations survive to this day. So does the Terrier loco which was withdrawn shortly after this day and was at the time the oldest locomotive working on British Railways (having been built in 1872). It is now preserved on the Bluebell Railway in East Sussex where it arrived early in 1964.

HFF and enjoy the day, although the UK weather is not expected to be as good as in this November shot.
