Then on 1240 Swanage to Corfe Castle. Photos from the station and in the village.

The final photo is of my train ticket and Swanage Railway leaflet.
I write about real ale drinking and pubs. The Watercress Line heritage railway. Preserved Leyland National buses. Co-owner of a preserved Dennis Dart bus. Also visiting other heritage railways, beer festivals and other trips. Comments welcome.
