- Luscious shades of green and yellow are returning to the Isle of Purbeck, as Spring arrives, and the Swanage Railway settles in to its main operating season.
Duties would be shared between Swanage stalwart 34028 "Eddystone", and U Class - 31806, as the pair powered the railway's Blue timetable. In addition, on Saturday the 20th, there would be a late evening run over the line with 31806 as it took charge of 'The Purbeck Piddler'; a real ale train, and a recent addition to SR operations. This evening run would feature a spectacular performance from 31806, as the crew worked the U hard up the bank away from Herston Halt.

That was a good week then😊 A dose of Southern in deepest Dorset in the Spring, you can't beat it. Great opening details shot👍👍👍
Great record of a lovely day on Purbeck...
Was able to experience a Footplate Experience on Eddystone this month. Such a lovely engine and an experience I will remember for such a long time.
Great composition and camera-work - thank you!
Thanks very much
Wonderful video! Beautiful trains and scenery.

Yes! Southern steam and a Devon Belle Observation car! The absolute best! 😍
It's a lovely combination, and one we're very lucky to have
Superb ❤

Thank you
Nice vid love Swanage railway
Thank you
Good action on a great railway. But the coal bill and the number of empty seats don't seem to me to add up.
What's happened to the streamlining on Eddystone?
The air-smoothed casing was removed, along with other modifications, when the locomotive was rebuilt in 1958.
19:25 Skill or luck? either way, well done there.
Very much luck. The camera and tripod were set up for the following shot, but with a clear view of the moon, so pointed the camera up for the b-roll. At which point the plane appeared.
