    Question is--will they let it through Bournemouth in front of the 1802 stopper?

    I'm fairly sure it doesn't. But I imagine that @Gladiator 5076 may confirm that.

    Swanage turntable [ex- Ruislip LT Depot] is 50ft long - so, no, it can't accommodate a whole West Country. Engine and tender have to be turned separately.

    Delay due, apparently, to rail tour passenger falling off platform and on to track at Swanage.
    I was at Corfe Castle at the time so am only going by the messages being sent down the line, to other stations, for waiting passengers to be told the reason for train delays.
    Ambulance arrived within 15 minutes it seems but haven't heard how the elderly patient was when taken into paramedics' care.
    Hope they suffered little and get over the shock quickly.

    Delays at Basingstoke. I believe from what I've overheard they want to get under the loco to check something. Trying to get permission at the moment I believe.

    We’ve heard from a mate at Basingstoke the loco has failed, something to do with the lubricator
