Network SouthEast workings.

The boat trains that ran in and out of both the Eastern and Western Docks at Southampton were not scheduled services but were put on to suit the arrival and departure of the cruise liners. Each train was shown in the weekly Special Traffic Arrangements booklet issued to operational staff as this example. The headcodes were 95 for Eastern Docks and 96 for Western Docks. Empty stock was berthed at Clapham carriage sidings and the ecs up trains ran under headcode 02.
