Swanage Railway - "Spring Steam Gala" - 'Over the Road' 09/04/2016

Filmed during this years Spring Steam Gala, for the first time in its preservation history, Swanage Railway ran services 'over the road' at Norden carrying on Westwards as far as the River Frome Bridge - the current limit between Swanage Metals, and those of Network Rail. This is the first time in 44 years that a revenue earning service has traveled this far on the line, since the last British Rail service to run on the 1st of January 1972. Dubbed as an "Over the Road" service, the services were top-and-tailed due to a lack of run around loop at the end of the line. Ex-GWR 4247, owing to gauging issues, was limited to the section west of Norden meaning the loco was rostered for all four of the "Over the Road" services on the Saturday of the event. Locomotives: Ex-GWR 4200 Class - 4247 Ex-SR 'Battle of Britain' Class - 34070 "Manston" Keep an eye out for the frames of 'West Country' Class 34010 "Sidmouth" at 13:00. All footage filmed on Saturday the 9th of April 2016.
