Welcome to the South Western Circle
The South Western Circle, formed in 1962, is a society for railway historians and enthusiasts interested in the London & South Western Railway (LSWR).
The society has a membership of over 500, and aims to assist and encourage members to enhance their knowledge of the LSWR and its successors with research and quarterly publication of the Circle's magazine 'The South Western Circular'
Modelling activities have a high profile amongst the membership which is able to draw upon the Circle's sales service of kits and components, comprehensive drawing service and photographic collections.

31st March 2008 - 'Along These Lines' - Revised TV schedule
Since the Circle News went to publication ITV have adjusted the scheduling of these programs due to the Grand Prix on Sunday April 6th.
| The new schedule is: |
| Episode 1: | Castleman’s Corkscrew | 13th April |
| Episode 2: | Longmoor Military Railway | 20th April |
| Episode 3: | Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway | 27th April |
| Episode 4: | The Hawkhurst Branch | 04th May |
| Episode 5: | Meon Valley Railway | 11th May |
| Episode 6: | East Kent Light Railway | 18th May |
| Episode 7: | Sprat & Winkle | 25th May |
| And, wait for it……….. |
| Episode 8: | Isle of Wight | 15th Junel |
I’m told by those that know about these things that this is fairly typical of ITV and there is no guarantee the schedule won't change again. I would, therefore, suggest you continue to check local press/Radio Times for details.
