Salisbury
| Apart from the construction of the SWT Traincare depot on the site of the old GWR station, the removal of the footbridge across the station and of most of the sidings on the down side of the LSWR station and a Balfour Beattie depot built on the site of the LSWR loco yard, Salisbury station today is largely unchanged from steam days. The following photographs have been taken since 2002. |

class 159 Nº159014 that has been detached at Salisbury. The end of the
west-facing bay, platform 5, can be seen on the right.

Looking westwards along platform 4 with the bay platform 5 on
the left and platform 3 on the right.
The unusual building looking a little like a Signalbox without the windows on platforms 2 and 3 is, according to a member of staff, for "storing hot water bottles"! photograph by Tony Bush |
| The far end of platform 4 with the down bay road emerging form
the left and looking towards the carrage cleaning unit in the centre and the
Balfour Beattie Maintenance yard on the left.

Looking back at the station from the country end. Platform 1
with the brick wall on the left separating the new from the old. This was the
boundary line between LSWR/SR and the GWR.

| A closer view of the odd building on platforms 2 and 3. Note
that it has three chimneys, one of which has more than its fair share of
vegetation growing!

Lord Nelson class
Nº850 Lord Nelson waiting at Salisbury on 16th August 2005.
Marshalled in the middle of a train with wagons in front and support coach
behind and in light steam, she was being pulled from Eastleigh to the West
Somerset Railway for a running-in period but stopped at Salisbury for about
half an hour or so, believed to be due to fears of an axle box running hot.
