We asked a few of our enthusiastic volunteers what the Swanage Railway means to them and why the ‘Save Our Service’ appeal urgently needs your help today! The exciting scenes are also a reminder of why the heritage industry is such an important part of history that can only continue with your support. Thanks to many extremely generous donations £80,977 has been raised so far (18/04/20). Considering we would normally have started running daily services by now however, this will not yet recuperate

Visitors to the Swanage Railway over the next two days will be able to take in the sights sounds and smells of steam once again as U Class locomotive 31806 is out and about working a number of training trains for our volunteers, to ensure that everyone is ready for the return of steam passenger trains from Saturday! Our passenger trains today and tomorrow will be in the hands of one of our faithful Class 33 locomotives, with 33111 doing the honours today. Anyone looking to enjoy a ride behind on
