The problems started with the points failure at Norden this morning which meant that we were 25 late leaving to RF on the 1045. Then add insufficient section times throughout especially Norden to RF. Add insufficient time at Corfe on up trains...

Timetable drift because something's a bit too ambitious or not well planned or executed is one thing, but it does seem that at both last month's diesel gala and now this event Swanage has had to deal with some relatively extreme events that any...

Yesterday we joined a friend on the 0530 from Waterloo and changed to the Breezer Bus 50 at Bournemouth which got us to Swanage at 0915 . Also the 0520 from Brighton gets to Southampton for the 0721 to Bournemouth for the 50 to Swanage arriving...

Not long home from an astonishing day at this gala. I had tickets for Friday and Saturday with an Travelodge room booked at Poole on Friday night, but couldn't manage to get down on Friday. So I did a long out and back from home on Saturday with...

A challenging day for the Swanage Railway on Saturday. Several events out of their control led to the delays which were up to over an hour by the time we left at around 18.30. I hope that the people taken ill at Corfe Castle are okay. The poor...

That is right - and it will need far more inclusive management from the Trustees with the members than it has had in the past few years. We have to hope the new appointments at the AGM will be treated with respect and their views respected,...

Colin Rutledge liked 35B's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I’ve mixed feelings on this - the survival of other remote major railways suggests that these problems are not insoluble. However, those have grown over decades, and taken their people with them. My instinct is that the growth of the L&B will...

Can anyone share the logic/thinking behind running trains throughout the night please? Seems a counter-intuitive waste of coal and time and causes everyone close by unnecessary disturbance. Given a fire is equally likely at night, you also need...
