A very interesting presentation. I remember seeing trains leaving Swanage in 1968 whilst on holiday. In 2018, I arrived at Swanage on a West Coast Railway Special Top and tailed between two of their class 47s. I joined the train at Swinton in South Yorkshire! It was a very good tour which allowed a decent amount of time in Swanage. The train was two long for the station, so the Swanage Railway trains had to use the bay platform. It's good to see a heritage railway connected to the main network.

When I was 16 back in 1984 I was a yts trainee for British rail I was a junior railman at Hove in east Sussex I worked on the platform for 3 months and am happy to say before the three bridges takeover of the signals I worked in Hove box for 3 months I loved running the mainline in a lever box from Brighton tunnel to Shoreham by sea b box it was all levers and bells and buttons 😊 I was sad when it all got modernised you brought back that memory for me thank you...ps i was working under gudance of signalman ...great memories 😊

I had always wanted to visit the Swanage Railway but I never got the chance until one of the ferries serving the Channel Islands was cancelled. As we were going to be delayed for a couple of days my family and I decided to make the most of the opportunity by visiting the railway. I was fortunate enough to have met Mike when he was acting as a signalman at Corfe Castle. Mike allowed my son and I to see inside the signalbox and took a great deal of time to explain to us how everything worked. Unfortunately, I never made a note of Mike's name but I did take 3 photos of him on the platform accepting a token from an arriving train. What an incredible stroke of luck it is that after all these years I'm finally able to put a name to the face of such a lovely man!

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

Always nod my head to my late father Keith who worked so hard with the peeps down there to get Swanage Rly's signalling up to NR levels and he with the old man pretty much wrote Swanage Rly's current signalling order, it was a blessing for him that after forced early retirement from BR Swanage gave him a second go and a return to lever work. He left BR the most passed out SR signalman even at F grade he maintained several boxes that he would be asked to go relief for and he was the embodiment of the BR rule book.

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

Thanks Mike for this presentation. Very inspiring, so yesterday I sourced a copy of Emetts Early Morning Milk Train for some inspiration creating my own version of a layout. Mine will be 009 so all scratch built. I discussed it with my father and he remembers traveling on the Emett train at the Festival of Britain in the 1950's. Thanks for putting all this together Mike.

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.
