Music done my head in

A bit of a time-warp!! Broad gauge, wow!!

Nice railway

great track ride PHil !!

Looks great, I really like the long curved platform 👍

Used to have family holiday in Swanage during the 50s and 60s before the closure of the line .In the late 80s I lived there for a few years and often was invited to the workshop to see the Engines being worked on including one that was being built from scratch . I wonder if they ever finished it ?

Lovely! What was the music used for this video? Is it something by Elgar?

Great footage . I've sat many of times overlooking Swanage station at Gala's admiring the old school trundling around and I enjoyed it . This video was great . Totally enjoyable

My girlfriend and I walked the line between Corfe Castle and Swanage in the summer of 1975 which was derelict at that time, hats off to the Swanage Railway for rebuilding the line and now with a direct link to Wareham. Do you think that Network Rail will ever consider the possibility of reinstating the Swanage platform at Wareham?

Wow i love swanage great holiday place

Interesting looking locomotive. Good vid.

seems your speed was a little fast as well

Superb 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀

Excellent video 👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁

We were on the train, towards the front. A very enjoyable day. I remember that as the hungry passengers left Swanage Station and surged into the town how the shopkeepers came out to meet us. Swanage is a brilliant town now it has its railway back. Superb place for a "staycation".

Love the broadguage.

WHY

Im sad that was the only day out of thomas event for Swanage, but they didnt do it again because they did the event incorrect.

Nice, but I would have preferred in real time not accelerated and with the sound of the train rather than the music. The music was very good though.

I saw the line derelict in mid 1970s what a achievement re-built from Wareham to Swanage

The film shows that the Swanage line was built with double-track-width bridges throughout, presumably because of the Act authorising it. It was never likely to become double track. The Swanage Railway seems to have a number of sidings and works yards along its route. Why so many? The old LSWR-SR-BR(S) did not need them all. They seem to be used to park an excessive number of old railway vehicles of dubious value.

How wonderful. What a stretch of line!

It might have been nice to include the names of the stations you passed through.

hello

How wonderful i dreamt of this day in my younger years. I only saw desolation and a few miles of track opened when i was going there every year for holidays. Thanks to flippin Beeching killing our rail industry. Luckily by closing this line he allowed a superb Heritage railway to be built up!!

Lovely interesting video but could someone not have cleaned the squashed insect off the window or had it paid to travel!

How much the first part of this journey from Wareham to Norden has changed since this video was taken! Signalling directly off the main line, all the embankments done, track layout changes at Furzebrook, no more double catch point at Motala and the proper level crossing at Norden Gates! And ....... the passenger service is starting from Wareham next month!!!

fantastic video thankyou cheers

Bloody hell, the music is Parry 3 !!!, worth watching just for that.

Nice vid ... shame you didn't give the names of the stations it stopped at/passed through.

Lovely vid, bit saddened not seeing me dad as I always had at Harman's Cross but I think he had retired for the second time by the time this vid was made.

I took a brief look at some of the costs of getting reconnected to NR at Worgret Jun. and nearly had a fit.Does a level- crossing really cost half a million?Or is this project pricing itself out of normal existence? Railway preservation enters the lists.Made that much more serious by running diesel units up to Wareham and back. I wonder if the financial returns can justify this financial commitment, even over a ten year 'recovery period'?It makes me wonder how much it costs to travel by bus from Swanage to Wareham ( and beyond)?The mind boggles!Alistair

Parry now is it? For some reason this song was in my head ruclips.net/video/wdV_5i3_1sU/видео.html

I remember travelling on this line, being hauled by a steam locomotive, going on our summer holidays, in the1950s.

Great vid . Thanks for sharing. Went on the Swanage railway last Sun 30 Aug . Had a great time.

You can keep the Japanese Bullet Train, I prefer our English version...

Awesome vid

Got any shots of Cyril?

I remember going to Swange by train as a youngster. We would get the train from Bailey Gate to Poole and then travel to Swanage. This has brought back some great memories thanks very much.

That's fast forward

nice short film very enjoyable

Just as nice as 5 yrs ago.

Lovely video and like others I was wondering what the music was - whiffs of Elgar, Brahms and yes Mendelssohn too. Parry's 3rd symphony is well worth a listen, lay back and think of old England and a requiem to those glorious branch lines of old! And dream of singing the Blest Pair of Sirens again before too long!

your late!!!!!!!!!! i'm freezing!!!!!!!

Hi, PHil. When will the Swanage Railway be estimated to see regular services to and from Wareham? I've ridden the line several times as a child and I was always thinking to myself "Will the connection to the mainline be re-opened again?" It's one thing I have been hoping for since I was very young. Is it likely to be connected within the next few years? Also, does South West Trains still operate that Class 121 Bubblecar unit? Thank you! Abigail :) x

Truly amazing video, thankyou! I just hope the railway get the future funding to progress with thier plans with the connection to Wareham soon. When it happens, (not if) it'll be a fantastic croud puller and make some awesome headlines for the preserved/heritage railway fraternity.

Bless you, saquabote. It was so English - and so well coordinated with the film.

The music is Parry's Third Symphony "The English"

Hi Bruce, will run a trackID and let you know, I have forgotten the name but I think the composer is Mendelson

Like 674168 I have been waiting for a year to learn what the music is. My Wife thinks it sounds like Elgar. It is so frustrating. Please someone HELP.
