    Not sure who the unlucky driver was on the 10:00 service but they did an amazing job actually getting Manston out of Swanage with the 10:00 this morning. The service was just going out as I opened the bedroom blind and I thought it was about to...

    Delayed by a late running SWR Southampton Bournemouth all stations FS arrival also meant the T3 was delayed on the 14:00 service. As usual the loco seemed to gather a crowd bot on the platform and in Gilbert Road. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
