The 06:30 MXD branch train has arrived at Hayling Island.

The locomotive has run round its train and is in the process of moving the freight wagons into the goods yard (to the left where the van is located). Mixed freights always had the goods vehicles attached at the rear of the train, passenger coaches were attached to the locomotive. The coaling stage can be seen between the train and the goods van. The coaches to the right of the train were the spare set.
