Swanage Railway - Start of Wareham Service 13.06.2017

Swanage Railway, 13.06.2017: Start of the public train service from Swanage to Wareham, 45 years after the Beeching closure. Filmed mainly in the Corfe Castle area. Trains being operated by West Coast Railways for the Swanage Railway, (red coaches) plus the normal service train (green coaches) top & tailed. Nice to see D6515, "Lt. Jenny Lewis RN" leading the first Wareham trains.

Went on it last Sunday - fabulous! Delayed joining the mainline at Worgret Junction by late running Weymouth train as we needed to use the down line to run into Wareham. Go and try it for yourselves!

Great video, I will be in Bournemouth in November , can"t wait to go on the railway at Swanage. It certainly will be a lot colder than now

Good to see the connection to Wareham operating, and it's possible to get onto the Swanage Rly. by train again. Earlier in 2017 I went to their 'Steam Gala" event by car to the Norden 'park & ride' car park: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2TMhJx_l7x5jck
