Looking west. Electric train is platform now used by MHR. Tour train must have been propelled by class 33/1 at this point.

At Alton, the island platform is the southernmost side. The outer face was platform 3. This is the one now used by the MHR and even in BR days it was used separately for the trains going westwards, and was trapped at the London end. So the train in which our photographer is riding was to or from platform 1 and going to/coming rom the east.
