Eastleigh Works Guided Depot Tour

Arlington Fleet Services are happy to welcome organised groups of railway enthusiasts and other interested parties to our site at Eastleigh Works where 309624 was overhauled and converted for test use in 2001. £15 of each ticket sale goes to nominated Arlington Fleet Services Charites.

Tours start at the entrance gate on Campbell Road promptly at 10:00 with a Safety Briefing from our Lead Guide. Visitors should arrive at least 15 minutes before. Minimum age is 18. The yard has 750V electrified 3rd rail which will be on during the tour. Traffic on site can be busy with many vans and HGVs present. Tours typically last between one and two hours and can involve walking 3 to 4 miles in total.

All visitors should wear stout footwear and a hi viz jacket. The site will be working during the tour and all instructions from our guides must be followed without question. Anyone without a hi viz jacket will be restricted to just the roadways and walking routes. We are unable to supply hi viz jackets.

There is no car parking available on site, except for Disabled badge holders. There are plenty of car parks in Eastleigh town centre. Just follow the signs. The nearest ones to the Works are opposite the station and just further down the main road at the Swan Centre. There is also a small pay and display car park just south of the Campbell Road junction, between the main road and the railway line.
