    Locos reportedly 31806, 34070, 33012 and 50026. I assume there's a rake of ETH fitted stock if a couple of diesels are out?

    Certainly one of the years when I was line siding and my dad was travelling all day he told me it was a NH fitted set (no heat!) Either 2017 or 2018 I think.

    BSO(T) 9015 and (at least ?) two TSOs were (are ?) fitted for electric heating but have no idea if it still works.
    Can't recall which ones are dual braked too but, hopefully, everything will be in working order for the Winter Warm Up.
    The 'restored' TC vehicles still need some work so unlikely that they will be involved I suspect.

    One rake will be steam heat, one rake ETH. Think the plan is for a 5 coach steam set, and 4 coach ETH.

    Does anybody have an idea of which of the steam services are hauled by which loco ? Also I see elsewhere mention that both the 33 and the 50 work goods trains dep Swanage at 12.27 and 15.27, so having had a look at the passenger timetable, are there any steam hauled goods too, 10.57 and 13.57 from Swanage possible paths for these ??? Hopefully the railway will release details but thought it may be worth asking here in case anybody knows. Looking forward to getting the 2023 gricing year off to a good start by visiting this event.

    I looked back at the 2019 winter warmer timetable when I saw this event's diesel turns listed on WNXX and though the timings are slightly different the service pattern's basically the same - so I think you're on pretty safe ground guessing at those 10.57 and 13.57 steam goods.

    Had been really, really hoping 50026 might have an outing at this event so we were delighted when we saw the line-up.

    I'll chase up release of the full event timetable, including loco workings and freight timings. I know it's been put together.

    With Saturday being a strike day and Sunday SWR seemingly (looking at RTT) being on Havant diversions so not great for anyone hoping to travel by public transport. Add to that of course two hourly service on both the 40 and X50 (which only runs from the Square in Bournemouth anyway).
    Hope those wanting to attend have other options, shame that the numbers may be impacted when Heritage Lines need all the bums on seats they can get.

    It’s on Facebook and has been for the last 2x days. The volunteers running the social media page are bit more proactive than those in charge of the webpage.
