Glad you think so!

Thank you for those kind comments

Hi Doug. Thank you so much for your kind comments on my Video on Signalling the Link. It was my priviledge to show you the inside of Corfe Castle Signal Box. Sadly the long-anticated 90-Day Trial Service between Wareham and Swanage, using the Link, will not now take place until 2023. Although I am not as physically fit as I was when we met, I still act as Signalman at Harmans Cross, Corfe Castle and Norden Gates on occasions, as well as the Museum Signal Box at Corfe Castle (where visitors can work the lever frame). Please call on us again without waiting for a ferry to the Channel Islands to be cancelled! Kind regards, Mike Walshaw

Seeing the 33 there reminded me of the days off spent with my father and my uncle, they had their little pastel books and a Party Seven on tap where they would spot test each other on their routes etc as my uncle was then a 33 driver at Hoo Jnc and my father working relief from Hoo. A different era and sometimes in the summer holidays I was allowed to go off with uncle who worked mainly down the Sheppey industrial lines, taking Ford trains to Olympia or glass and steel wagons to Hither Green, bit of shunting at Sheerness or the horrendous drop alongside the Queensborough docks spur... happy days :D

Hi, Thank you so much for your comments. I have a copy of that book, too! By the way the layout will be on show at the Basingstoke Model Railway Exhibition at the Aldworth Science College, Western Way, Basingstoke on Sat/Sun 12/13 March

Glad you enjoyed it

At the current time, we at the PRC do not know, as soon as anything is announced we will post on our channel

@@prcvideo4071 thanks for that.

Yes indeed. We have that permission and hope to start services next summer subject to the usual conditions.

Indeed! Thanks for you comment.

Once the trial service is running again, you will be able to change trains at Wareham. Keep looking at the main railway website for details on when this will be operating www.swanagerailway.co.uk

@@prcvideo4071 swanage by rail is on my bucket list and if one can throw in a day riding on Steam trains then so much the better. Looking forward to it this summer - I only live in Southampton so it's a nice ride out to Wareham.

There are currently 3 large cranes based o the line

Thanks for watching

PROJECT WAREHAM UPDATE STATEMENT FROM THE PROJECT WAREHAM DIRECTOR, SWANAGE RAILWAY The Swanage Railway continues to make preparations for the introduction of a second one-year selected-days passenger train service between Swanage and Wareham, where a connection will be made with South Western Railway main line services. It is now our intention to initially operate the new Wareham service over 90 days between April and October 2022 using our Diesel Multiple Units, which have been overhauled to main line condition thanks to a grant from the Government’s Coastal Communities Fund. This grant has also enabled essential work to be carried out on upgrading the track and infrastructure between our existing limit of passenger operation at Norden and the junction with Network Rail’s London to Weymouth line near Wareham. Full details on days of operation and ticketing arrangements will be announced nearer the time. Mark Woolley, Project Wareham Director, Swanage Railway 27 July 2021 PS: The delay until 2022 has of course been caused by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

@@prcvideo4071 cheers! Thanks for posting!
