Swanage Branch

On the LCGB’s The Dorset Coast Express run on 7/5/67, Bulleid original West Country pacific no. 34023 Blackmore Vale minus nameplates made two trips from Wareham to Swanage and is seen here having just left Corfe Castle behind. Each trip had a different engine topping and tailing but I don't know which loco is at the back of this one. [Mike Morant collection] The branch was closed by BR on the 3rd January 1972 and subsequently for the most part, the track lifted. What a marvellous achievement the re-opening of this line has been.
