Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - 9 September 2017

This is pretty much the classic shot of the approach to Havant from the Waterloo lines and much repeated online but soon to be a thing of the past in this exact composition. 20 August 2017 saw the transfer of the franchise from Stagecoach's South West Trains to South Western Railway owned by FirstGroup and MTR Corporation.

Rolling stock changes are planned but, for the time being, this morning service was formed of Class 450 Desiro emu 450118 leading 450036 and 450006 all in the outgoing livery.
