Stone me! Marbles actually driving a loco during playschool week!

I had to take a weeks leave to recover...... things back to normal next year tho..

 

Can anyone tell me what's on the diner tomorrow? Assuming Manston is on the service trains and facing Corfe still?

Manston will be on the dining train tomorrow (facing London), with 30053 (facing Country) on the service train.

 

Thank you fine sir

Other than the 12.55 dept off Swanage I didn't suppose you have the diner timings?

Dep Swanage 1020.......and about 15 early at Wareham

But will probably be RT by the time it get to Southampton

 

Anyone willing to take up the challenge?

 

A large number of people disappointed that there was no DMU service last Saturday.
The knock effect to certain activities at Corfe Castle was noticeable!

 

I will be in the area on Tuesday, anything happening on the railway, need a catch up visit...
