I remember the steam trains in the New Forest, on the Ringwood to Brockenhurst line, some of which is now a road, and the old Holmsley Station which is now a tea rooms.
Saw the Flying Scotsman heading out of Kings Cross once pulling an excursion train, but by the time I used that line much the trains were double headed by Deltics. Now a collectors' item in their own right.
I preferred the coaches, they were cheaper and you were guaranteed a seat. I was rather fond of the old Bristol/ECWs
