The southwestward SimSig march continues with the release of Basingstoke (Main). The four track main line from Waterloo culminates with the division of the West of England towards Salisbury and Exeter, and the South Western Main Line to Southampton and Weymouth. A branch from Didcot and Reading also joins at Basingstoke which carries freight to and from the southern ports, local passenger trains, and also forms part of the Cross Country network.
