Swanage Railway 26-27/10/2023

The October school half-term would signal the end of the main running season for the Swanage Railway for 2023, with the week providing the perfect opportunity to end the season on a high, before the winter downtime and 'The Polar Express' festive services. The week saw recently overhauled T3 Class - 563 in steam, operating services daily for the first time in over 78 years, with the SR heavily promoting the chance to ride behind the Victorian veteran. Part of this was demonstrated by the inclusion of a feeder service, hauled by 34070 "Manston", with the aim of ferrying passengers to the seaside from the SRs intermediate stations, for them to take a journey behind 563 as it travelled non-stop through the Isle of Purbeck. As such, the timetable would be slightly skewed with 563 effectively chasing 34070 over the line, as services passed at Corfe Castle and at Swanage instead of the usual pass at Harmans Cross.

The time allowance to travel between locations became severely reduced, not helped by some late running and subsequent last minute timetable alterations. This was compounded by the very changeable weather, reducing location choices to a guessing game. All footage filmed on Thursday the 26th, and Friday the 27th, of October 2023.
