We chose to go Friday for the better forecast (no rain), it remained overcast for most of the day. Quiet in the morning, few more in after lunch, but it was a weekday. Part one is a collection of shots from around the shed/station.[ATTACH]...

Probably as there is a Swanage Gala between the two events. But I guess if there is money for the transport costs who knows.

Well this is what Swanage posted on their Facebook on Wednesday, so six round trips = 66 miles, so about £22.72 per mile in coal without any big hills and 5 coach trains. "Did you know it costs around £1,500 a day in coal alone to operate one of...

Having retired 14 years ago and hence somewhat out of touch, what is the view in this country about people leaving work to get a specific public transport service? When I used to visit Boeing a lot it was very common for half a meeting to stand...

About 5 mile more than Weymouth to Southampton on a DCE or vice versa, (as I mentioned in post #17) and well short of the 89.75 mile that 34067 was on the back from Exeter St. Davids-Laverstock Junction in 2013.
