Google maps links the centre of that postcode to the station (Beaulieu Road) and adjacent Beaulieu Road Station Enclosure. Pig Bush (same postcode) is about 1km SE towards Beaulieu, on the right.
(The station happens to be a selectable destination in my RNS-D!)
Come on Andrew be great to see you and all the cars together

Finally arrived in Southampton last night, just before midnight, after a gruelling 6 hour drive through lots of roadworks and rain.

View from our city-centre accommodation ...

I did A Shell station as it happens (Redbridge Rd, I think), so I was able to top up on V-Power too. That was this morning though and it's rained again since so probably not gonna be spotless tomorrow I'm afraid.

I'd like to add my thanks to Neil again for arranging this and also for Chris for bringing his AOCUK wind banners, making our row of A8's (plus others) look like a more coherent group than they would have normally done.

And it was nice to meet new members yesterday too. Is it me or does the actual person behind the forum name ALWAYS look different to how you would expect them to be?

(I'll try and add a few photos later today).
