    A brilliantly engineered line by a flawed genius.

    A VERY BRIEF ESCAPADE !!!
    The "International connection" from London to New York via Bristol was short lived. Bristol Port was to small & restrictive (on the River Avon) and shipping quickly became to large. So this international connection was quickly replaced by Liverpool via the L&NWR from Euston station. And slightly later by the L&SWR who purchased Southampton harbour from the City council & massively expanded it to take much larger shipping. At which point "Ocean Liner Boat trains" left Waterloo for Southampton Docks to meet the cross Atlantic Liners.

    Good but sorely lacks much of the motive power of the period
