34028, Eddystone makes a brief mainline return, The Swanage Belle

I headed out with @crunchynutsteamfilms5043 to see the launch of Southern Locomotives Limited's Eddystone on its first public mainline tour to Swanage. It would run smoothly until it arrived at Basingstoke on the return where it was declared a failure and removed from the train. We started on a bridge outside Eastleigh where it is flying through and lifting the safety valves. Then we hurried to make a Weymouth train which got us to Branksome in front of it for another nice view having slowed down through Bournemouth and making up speed. Our final view of it, as it never made it to Woking, was at Mottisfont & Dunbridge putting in the power with no diesel once again at a foot crossing. Overall it was a good day and hopefully we will see Eddystone mainline in not too long despite it being pulled from the weekends trip to Minehead. Luke
