I expect Jasper will be sat in the pub near the station enjoying his meal as it pulls in

"It is due to pass through Wareham at 12:58 BST, running into Corfe Castle at 13:37 and arriving in Swanage at 13:53."

Sorry, but if it runs into Corfe Castle then English Heritage are going to be very annoyed (and Swanage will have to wait another 46 years to see it).

The train's 36 years late?
If Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson had been waiting for it they'd have had about fourteen kids by now!

I hope he'll pardon the effrontery but if IG18 is reading this, does he have any pictures of this working he could post?? Or indeed any other Bulleid pacific (Tangmere's done a fair bit of main-line work recently).

Thanks in anticipation!!

I have a pic of the 'Clan Line passing through Romsey in April '91. (No I am not a train spotter) was there waiting for a replacement train via EastLeigh (when the chandlers Ford branch was still normally used for freight only) when it happened to pass through
In transition to the real me, Currently on hold after surgical review until I loose 10kg anyone got a hiding place for it :-) hopefully will be fully the true me now in 2017.

I have a shot of Tangmere going along the B&H near Theale if anybody wants a copy. I guess that reveals what the 86501 in my username refers to for some...

I'm afraid not, I was working a Woking to Waterloo local train that ran not far in front of it and was busy desperately trying to dry off and get some food in the guard's messroom at Waterloo when it came in. It was just pulling out of platform 19 when I went down for my 2233 to Kingston! I did get one of Clan Line at Waterloo last July though:

Maybe next time I'll get it!
