When this story begins passengers then as now were the main business of the railways in southern England. Since then electrification has been the priority. Diesels appeared in the 1950s, steam ended in 1967, branch lines closed with Beeching, but in compensation the south has a remarkable network of preserved steam and diesel operated railways.
