More likely Bournmouth unless it was a special train. Portsmouth was an electrified line and the only steam seen there generally came to/from the west via Southampton or was on freight work. Even the Bournmouth line from Waterloo might have been unusual as 34051 was a Salisbury engine in the early 1960s and for most of here service life (Nine Elms for a short time in the early 1950s).

I certainly saw her often at Exeter Central in the 1950s.
