    Swanage re-visits Victorian Times this weekend.
    It has been arranged that Terrier No. 662 "Martello" takes over the diesel service during this Saturday's and Sunday's Green Timetable. It joins Drummond M7 No. 53 to provide an all-steam line-up so DMU enthusiasts can have a weekend at home.
    No. 53 will haul scheduled steam departures:
    Swanage: 0950; 1110; 1230; 1350; 1510; 1630.
    Norden: 1030; 1150; 1310; 1430; 1550; 1710.
    No. 662 "Martello" takes over the usual DMU service with the following departures:
    Swanage: 1030; 1150; 1310; 1430; 1550; 1710.
    Norden: 1110; 1230; 1350; 1510; 1630; 1743.

    Another reminder that 7802 "Bradley Manor" is to haul scheduled steam services today (Blue) as well as Tuesday and Wednesday (Green) Timetables: http://www.swanagerailway.co.uk/n-timetable.htm.

    Next Wednesday, 22nd September, Eddystone is heading a private driving charter called the Dorset Drum Express. It's on behalf of a company called Coombe Castle International Ltd, which sells English cheese around the world. Dorset Drum is a cheese made on a farm near Blandford. Some of their Canadian clients are train fans and have come across for the trip.
