Click an image to enlarge

A northbound Cross Country Voyager speeds through a snowy Swaythling station, Hampshire, kicking up the snow, which fell heavily over the night of 1st/2nd December

158880, covered in compacted snow departs from Swaythling with a stopping service towards Salisbury

The snow was deep enough to obscure all but the rails, with approximately 7" snow in parts of Southampton

The southbound cars train heads south to its eventual destination at the port of Southampton

A southbound Voyager speeds through Swaythling, diesel operated services were largely unaffected by the snowfall, however there were more substantial delays to Third Rail EMUs due to the problem of ice forming on the conductor (third) rail

158886 slows for its stop at Swaythling heading towards Romsey. With the south experiencing its heaviest snowfall in November/December for many years, who knows what the rest of the Winter of 2010/11 will bring
