After the Allied invasion of western Europe took place in 1944 prisoners that were taken would be transported on large barges (along with wounded Allied troops) over the English Channel and would dock at a major ports such as Southampton and Portsmouth. Here they would be deloused and board trains which would take them to one of the nine Command Cages which would be set up in racecourses such as Kempton Park Doncaster Catterick and Loughborough in Leicestershire or football grounds such as Preston North End's ground in Lancashire, Northern England.

More trucks lined up on railway land, possible waiting to be sold off so their new owners could compete with the railway for small freight traffic. Few in the government after the 1914-18 war or the 1939-45 war seem to have any idea how the sale of surplus road vehicles posed a problem for the railways that cost the government a great deal more than the mounts gained by the sale of surplus equipment.

Standard Southern Railway utility vans for the carriage of passengers luggage, of which there was a plentiful supply at Southampton.

This building, that look almost like one of the quay transhipment sheds, is in fact set back behind the main row of building and in land of Herbert Walker Way is of a slightly different style, being the Southern Railways carriage shed providing stock for train originating from the port. Interesting to see a clerestory roofed coach in the sheds. The clerestory shape was not common on the Southern, apart from the ex-LSWR restaurant cars. By this time these vehicles had been convert into military train, department use or scraped. The white square on the side of the coach could well be a red cross on a white ground, indicating that this indeed a hospital train. More correctly Gordon Weddell (the authority on LSWR coaches) tells me that three of the restaurant cars became part of 'Casualty Evacuation Trains' Nos. 332, 333 and 334. This probably means they are Southern vehicles. Why they are still awaiting traffic in 1947 is a mystery, as one would have assumed most casualties had been repatriated by then.

A feature always watched out for when travelling through Southampton on the train... when one was not looking out for ships.

This is just the most wonderful post -WWII scene. Fabulous Rank mill building dockside, serried ranks of vehicles stored up on vacant ground, buildings in ruins, Nissen huts, and the city's civic and cultural centre looking defiantly on.
