Should this page be called the lymington branch line, considering its connection to Brockenhurst Station as a heritage line? -- JMcD 13:18, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
It isn't a heritage line as such, it's a branch line of the network operated by heritage units for reasons of electrical supply and the length of the platform at Lymington Town. Britmax 12:00, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Formerly the branch train would use the main line for a mile or so out of Brockenhurst, leaving it at Lymington Junction where the crew would take the single line token from the signal box, that was there. However, BR electrified and extended a siding from Brockenhurst so now the branch train runs on its own line throughout. This led to the demise of Lymington Junction Box on the 19th of October 1978. The site of the box has since been occupied by a Traction Power Hut. Britmax 22:34, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
They did when it was busy, they used a 2-car in the winter. When I rode the branch in November 1972 token exchange still took place at the junction box. I recall seeing them demolish the box when they extended the siding in 1978. There is now an electrical box of some sort near the site. Now, I think it could have been next to the signal box when it was there but this was a while back (all right thirty years). work needed before any mention goes into the article I think.

Well, Canterberry, you're right as this
[1] picture shows. The box was located just as the lines divide, between them, and the electrical box is on the main line. Funny how memory plays tricks on one!

Excuse my ignorance, but in the second paragraph of "Rolling Stock" this article launches into what SWT did. I fully accept that vast explanations of acronyms can be annoying when it is obvious, but what is SWT? Wiki articles are to explain stuff to people who don't know.
Secondly "the reduction of the 4 carriage units to 3 carriages" was "to address the extreme height difference between the train and the platform at Lymington Town." How does shortening a train alter the step height difference? If the answer is "The usable length of the platform is only three coaches." that's a quite different matter.
