    My footage from day one of the diesel gala if anyone is interested. Nice to see trains packed even on a Friday, hopefully a nice profit after all is said and done. [MEDIA]

    The climb of Parkstone Bank was certainly taken with caution, good sound from Clan Line giving the circumstances with diesel assistance being the order, plenty of white smoke from the whistle rather than the chimney would be expected in the heat!

    Definitely not a day at the seaside! And it hasn't left Weymouth yet....My guess is that Clan Line is somewhere waiting for the single line section to Weymouth.

    There are now a couple of videos on YT confirming this. Just one 31 and the 4-vep on their way to Alton.

    I am rather suprised too that steam, even with any number of diesels, is allowed out on the main line today. Especially as the great heat was scheduled to move west today, with a 35 C temperature shown on the BBC weather map this morning for...

    A nice Southampton to Waterloo in 84 minutes non stop would be good.

    The movement from Strawberry Hill to Alton isn't on RTT yet but the Class 31a are already on their way from Burton. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:90970/2026-07-09/detailed

    Fingers crossed all goes well tomorrow. The path for the rescheduled run hasn't been entered in RTT yet. Does the railway have a plan b in case the 4-vep doesn't make it there as they will be short of a carriage set for the gala. The Class 56,...

    A shame - the passengers may still have a nice day out, but it won't be steam-hauled. I just hope the train's temperature is bearable.

    Thanks for the update. It looks like the issue is with the Diesel operating the positioning move as the earlier move for this from Burton Wetmore didn't happen even though it was activated.

    That schedule does not show a reversal anywhere. Moves like this do go around the houses. 'Back in the day' (old man reminiscence alert :D) I was asked to ride with the driver of a Hampshire unit on its delivery from Eastleigh Works to Selhurst...

    Think somebody is getting rather carried away here. Post#7621 is the clue here, 31128 will be hauling 31210 and 3417 , hence the rather long haulage to the Mid Hants, makes sense to me. I have to say I have only ever heard of Eastern region...
