I keep pinching myself that this fine machine is at Swanage when I consider what we had 40 years ago. Photo credit Ben Dolman

Enjoyed the gala on the Sunday. Great to see the fleet in action. Rode behind the Heywood Katie back from Dalegarth which was entertaining. Something a little different and managed to bag the front seat too! Very much enjoyed seeing the engines...

The announcement suggests "a trial of through services". That does not imply commuter services seven days a week. It could be as little as one return trip on some days when the signal boxes are open for heritage services.
