  When we were kids in Bournemouth, Swanage and Corfe Castle were our go-to place for days at the seaside or countryside. Bournemouth pier to Swanage on Cousins paddle steamer, or by rail from either Central or West stations. Visited the resurrected line in 2005, 2010 and 2014, and took in all the sites around remembering days gone by. A magnificent effort by all involved over the many decades! Now semi-retired in Picton, South Island, New Zealand.

  Yes, I've been working with Swanage Railway for a number of years with their appeal videos and I have permission to do this and commercial insurance. You can still take some shots but drone law says the drone will need to be at least 150 metres from SR property. Drone law is becoming complex, so it's always best to check with the CAA's website first. It's still possible to get some great photos though. 👍

  34092 only ever had two depot allocations.I remember when she was transferred to our depot at Salisbury. We would stop off on our way to school (St. Thomas's), to see the 08.45 train leave. This train always dropped off some vans that were then pushed to the East End by the station pilot. Imagine our surprise that morning when instead of the usual Drummond Tank, the "push out" was done by 34092 !!!! I've no idea what Gabby Hays, or Mick Farrer may have tried to teach us that day, but I'll never forget City of Wells on the "push out !!" .

  I'd have dumped the air and ran back through the engine compartment... very few people would survive a fall at 50mph. In the event, sadly it sounds like it was un-necessary - from the report: "Although the locomotive was extensively damaged and the leading bogie derailed, the integrity of the driver's cab remained intact." Hate things like this, poor bloke just went to work and stuff like this means he's never clocking off. RIP Driver Brooker

  The two steam locos are carrying the later British Railways crest, which dates the photo to after 1958. The track doesn't look as though it is in regular use, so I think the photo was taken between the closure of the line as a through route in March 1967 and the end of Southern steam in July 1967. Blandford station remained open for freight traffic until 2nd January 1969, although army traffic for Blandford camp was withdrawn at the end of 1967. Great concept for a video series. It's much easier to see from the air where the missing bits of trackbed went. Thanks for making this.

  The drone is a DJI Air 2s and DJI Mini 2. Getting the sound right is tricky as the drones do not record sound. The sound is recorded by a static camcorder on the ground and dubbed in afterwards.

  An enormous amount of work has gone into producing these videos of the old line, for which I, and I am sure many others, are enormously grateful. When you are on the Pines, as I was several times before its 1962, rerouting, most of what is in your videos is inevitably missed and so many gaps of what is merely seen from train level are filled in. This is particularly because, as child at that time, the journey from Manchester sometimes felt interminable. But maturity brings with it an appreciation of the actual journeys and the countryside. If the S&D was not one of the most loved railways in britain, so many people , including yourself, would not spend so much time and effort filming it, rebuilding it and carving out much of the route for walkers and cyclists. So it must be true.

  @@RailFlicks I won't for today's railway maybe colourful but it is boring with either class 66 freights and loads of passenger trains looking all the same. In those days you had screaming HST's, class 47's on freight and passenger, class 56's, 58's, 37's and 20's on freights. Loads of first generation DMU's where you could see where you were going. Even slightly earlier class 40's, 45's, 25's, 26's and 27's. There was a great variety but now there's utopian conformity on a railway that says it's privatised but isn't. It's now franchised.

  After steam Kings & Castles in the early to mid 1960s it was the fleet of Class 52 Westerns with 42 Warships to Bristol or Westerns and class 35 Hymeks to Cardiff and Swansea in pairs and back. But once the WR Hydraulic fleets (35,42 & 52) were withdrawn between 1970 and 77 it was 31's, 47s, and Class 50s when they came to the WR in 74/76 some trains did also see 37s on occasion, 50s worked until 1990, 47s finished in 1992 when the rancid Thames Turbo took over all non HST work. The HST first started on the Bristol TM to Paddington then Swansea and Cardiff trains then through the late 70s worked into Cornwall taking over the Loco Hauled train as the years passed, However due to the popular Devon and Cornish resorts there were plenty of additional workings to cover the HSTs with 15 coach Jumbo trains usually hauled by a class 50
