    Checking the very useful Swanage station webcam this morning I saw a diesel on the front of a not in steam 31806. And later both were gone. Presumably having taken the U class to wherever it will be loaded onto a transporter to bring it up to the Spa Valley Railway. Is the transfer point at Norden?
