Is the last passenger from Waterloo the 01:05 down the main line to Southampton (or beyond, I can't remember)?

Actually it is a candidate to run via Point Pleasant Junction to Wimbledon. PSUL also suggests the following run:
0042 Waterloo - Strawberry Hill
0105 Waterloo - Southampton Central
0142 SuO Waterloo - Twickenham
If it still runs the 0142 Sundays Only to Twickers is the last departure and is after the Southampton departure on Sundays. However I can find no reference to it in the current timetable! Can I please correct my previous posting: the 0005 is MX not the 0105...I remember when it was a newspaper train, Class 73 hauled!
The last Up Weymouth as mentioned before is also a candidate for the Point Pleasant route but I now gather it is usually because of engneering work.

Hi TC! Yes, about 1/2 mile away on the Totton side of Ashurst New Forest station, which was of course Lyndhurst Road in a previous incarnation. Juts off the A35 and within staggering distance of the Chinese T-A. Indiam Restaurant and T-A, the Happy Cheese pub/restaurant and The New Forest Inn. Lyndhurst must be about three miles away, which always creatd problems I gather for those coming to the town by rail. Now you'd be better off going to Brockenhurst and getting a bus or taxi. Same pronlem with Baeulieu Road for Beaulieu...I believe that there are just two trains each way M-S that stop. It's a Ghost Station!
Ashursy had three? old railway cottages in the car park with the pub on the right side. The cottages were derelict and had ben for some time then rcently a builder bought them and they will become bijou residences..with trains in the backside!

I've only ever remebered this because it's the last one back to Basingstoke. Funnily enough the first one from Basingstoke in the morning, the 0454, does use Point Pleasant Jct as mentioned earlier..........I have not done this journey for some time, the last time I did it was on a slammer. |

Whether its via Pt Pleasant Jnc is another thing though, as it is known to not go via there due to its platform at Waterloo. p7 -> Windsor Fast = No Way
