Much loved! I hope that the Councils will ensure full preservation.

Sadly it was destroyed in 2020 by the local council.

What a great video. Appropriate loco with slam door stock. And of to end it with 2 type of locos at on tail end of slammers. Great video

The past 3 days have seen the start of the ripping up of this railway line, driven by a highly incompetent Council. The line runs from just off Weymouth Station to the end of Weymouth Harbour. At a time when other town councils are putting lots of money into building tram lines, this would have been a perfect base for trams to be introduced. The traffic congestion in Weymouth is awful, mainly because of poor road lay-out, and the Councils obsession with thousands of traffic lights. A tramway would have solved many of these traffic problems. Also, with Weymouth being a major seaside resort, it would have served as a tourist attraction. Unfortunately the local Council are frightened of compensation claims, because a couple of people have complained that the lines are a trip hazard. I’ve been cycling, walking and driving over the lines regularly during the past 20+ years, and all that’s required is to look where you are going, and use common-sense when walking and cycling by crossing the lines at right angles !

Wasn’t the all blue a heritage livery from the earliest days of BR Blue?

Street running is quite common in the USA ... and ... you do NOT get loads of GEEZERS in hi-vis jackets walking in front of the freight trains ( if you get run over , it's your stupid fault ! ) , but to be fair , they do blow their horns A LOT ! ...... DAVE™🛑
