My understanding is that although they have now covered the tracks they were covered with a rubber type coating before the surfaced so the line could be reinstated if needed. I can remember GWR pannier tanks taking the trains through the streets. Lovely video brought back great memories.

I'm pleased you like it. That's a very clever way to cover the track over, obviously not a railway idea then!

When I was a child on holiday in Weymouth the locomotives were steam. They had an old Pannier Tank loco with a cow catcher.

I remember in my 2010 visit to The U.K i walked along part of the old Weymouth Quay Branch up to the terminus. Even though Regular Boat Trains ceased in September 1987 they still kept it open for occasional specials especially when they had the 50th anniversary of The D-Day Landings in Normandy on June 6th 1994 but they closed the old branch around the turn of the 21st century i think. But despite the weather it was an interesting clip to watch.

David, no it won't. The local council have removed the line by now. They got permission in 2021. It's now 2022 at the time of writing, so the tramway has been assigned to the history books or videos in this case.

I saw this on another video. Shame this doesn’t run anymore. I saw the BR staff having to move cars out of the trains path.

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus we went from Aldershot to Woking by electric, but went on a small steam train to Basingstoke and caught the Weymouth Express, actually it was 1966, because there was a seamans strike which delayed our return. We had to attend school in Jersey for a week or two, until they decided to fly us back. We returned to Portsmouth airport, which had a grass runway, it no longer exists and is now an industrial estate. The extra cost of the flight cost us ten shillings each. So unfortunately our return to Aldershot was by coach, much less exciting.

I was somthing months old that time🇬🇧
