Swanage Railway - 'Roads to Rail' 28-29/06/2024

The ongoing hiatus of the Great Dorset Steam Fair has understandably left many people disappointed. Thankfully, the sight of a steam fair in Dorset could still be experienced at the Swanage Railway, with their 'Roads to Rail' event returning for another year; held over the weekend of June 28th-30th. A collection of steam traction engines and other heritage vehicles would descend on the Isle of Purbeck, with many of them taking to 'The Play Pen'; the main display arena, where owners could demonstrate their vintage vehicles in action. Alongside the impressive display of heritage vehicles, there would be working demonstrations, a beer tent, and evenings of live music all contributing as attractions. There would also be a few trade stands around the arena. Among them, David Ensor, photographer and volunteer with Southern Locomotives Ltd, was selling prints of some of his spectacular images in order to raise funds for SLL. On-site camping would also be available for those travelling from further away. For the duration of the event, T3 Class - 563 would feature on static display at Norden, adjacent to the arena field, with the cab being open to visitors. Services would be handled by U Class - 31806 and the resident Class 117 DMU. The DMU would remain in service through Friday and Saturday evenings, providing transport for people travelling to and from the arena field.
