I noticed the -token- being exchanged and I wondered if they always have to wait for the token to be returned by a train travelling in the opposite direction before sending another train in the same direction as the first? I'd assume that's how it has to be done, but that would mean that it's impossible to send a second train in the same direction and over the same track as the first train even after that stretch of track is clear. You'd need modern electronic signalling if you wanted to allow that, I guess.

Once I got used to the idea that I wasn't about to be twacked in the head with a hedge or the occasional bridge it made for a very pleasant ride. Good job!

I left Medstead to live in New Zealand nearly 60 years ago. There's still some lovely scenery. Many thanks for a very enjoyable ride.

Excellent quality, hardly any vibration on the camera. Useful for route learning this, giving a good view of all the signals

Lovely train ride. I've never ridden on the Watercress Lines, but took a few photos at Alresford in 1992.
