A bit of a rarity at this time of day - early morning out of Swanage on our local Heritage line. It was Steam Gala Week and the volunteers were working really hard keeping five locos in steam all week with a fully scheduled time-table - well done to them all. The early start was probably to get the loco's at the right end of the line - passenger service started around 10 o'clock. This is a 'double-header' with a Class 4 and a U-class visiting loco (hope I'm right!).
8:30 from Swanage
