    Agree with the sentiments.

    The fact that Swanage offers a good destination plus a steam railway is a good draw. Sadly the days are long gone when you could have different locos down and back. Two hours haulage backwards is not every loco owner's cup of tea either.

    On the Tornado thread
    I'm quoting that here because RTC describe their Varsity Explorer three weeks later (25th October) as the first on that line. They do have something of a claim, as Pathfinder's does it only one way, Bletchley to Bicester, and RTC's does Bicester to Bletchley with steam, then diesel on the way back.

    Church Lane is the point work at the country end of Millbrook Freightliner terminal. Water has been taken in Southampton Up Goods Loop before now.
    That means a SWR set of stock often has to be moved and the locals in Cracknore Roads asked to move cars to get the tanker to the access gate.
    Cheers, Neil

    I wondered that but not shown as water in OTT either, which of course they usually denote as they have for Fleet.
