The first train starts from Horsted, so presumably a lot of people have driven there.

Waiting on 71000's non stop 10:45 which is also full to standing (quite a few got off the 80151 service mentioned above to get in this one). Overflow car park at Sheffield Park was looking very busy when I arrived about 9:20, so I think capacity...

The Gricing Owl liked Big Al's post in the thread RTC 2026.
Nice picture. But the RTC missed a trick there as this train goes to Swanage not just Bournemouth and the Royal Wessex would have been a more appropriate name with its portions for Weymouth and Swanage, back in the day. And a departure at 07:14...

When the journey will take longer, for whatever reason, there may be a trade-off between a very early starting time and too little time at the destination, though the early start may be the only way to find a path between all the regular traffic.

9F 92134 is listed for Great Central Railway's Last Hurrah Gala in November. Wonder if they are hiring it again over winter?
