Swanage Railway General Discussion

I worked that train, two coach parties with 32 in each. Loadings were ok considering the weather.

 

Timetable - Swanage Railway
I notice that the Swanage has an all steam timetable this weekend, but there is no mention of which locos will be in steam. Can anyone help please?

 

563 and 34072 have been the two locos so far this week. 31806 has been being worked on but no idea of the status as it failed a couple of weeks ago.

 

31806 did a test run to Herston and back to Swanage at 1700 on Tuesday.

 

Thanks for that, I'm just hoping that when I turn up on Saturday lineside fires aren't an issue!

 

Last night for the first rain for a while, I doubt it has made much difference. I did not notice any burnt areas when I had a ride on Monday.

 

And I am also hoping that there will not be any lineside fires on Saturday as well! Both 563 and 34072 both behaved themselves on Tuesday when I was at Harmans Cross.

 

34072 and 31806 today, as I discovered when I decided to go to HX to photograph the T3 as I had to go out to collect some drugs at Boots for my dad.
You think I would look out the window to check what was running (or at least look at the webcam). To fully make the whole thing a wipe out, after 5 minutes of them trying to find his drugs we established the carers had collected it before I got there.

 

Enjoy whilst you can. these are first world problems.
