75D was the one-time shed code for Horsham in BR steam days. The town's other claims to railway fame is that it was once the junction of the lines to Guildford and Steyning which closed in 1965 and 1966 respectively. Apparently, locally based industrial designers Messrs Wilkes and Ashmore were stylists for a number of BR diesel locomotives including the ubiquitous Class 47, 'Lion' and the Hymeks- to name but three. The town is also probably one of the few rail centres to still retain its goods yard which these days is used as a stabling point for many permanent way vehicles.
On a more general note. In 2006 Horsham was voted as the second best place to live in the UK and was only just beaten into first place by Winchester.
