Dorset - 2016

A really disappointing year (so far), mainly due to the weather, work, family life, and home improvement works.

​Images from my home county taken during 2016
will appear here.

Dorset - 2017

Harmans Cross

Picture
D6515 Lt Jenny Lewis RN approaching Quarr Farm crossing working a Norden to Swanage demonstration freight during the Swanage Railway's 'Winter Warm-Up' gala. Sadly any hope of some decent light / weather was fading fast.

Harmans Cross

Picture
The BBC weather forecast was pretty accurate for a change, with the light fading fast 33111 approaches Quarr Farm crossing working a Norden to Swanage service.

Harmans Cross

Class 33/0 No. D6515 Lt Jenny Lewis RN approaches Harmans Cross working 6N04 11:06 Swanage - Norden demonstration freight during the post-Christmas Swanage Railway 'Winter Warm-Up' gala.

Harmans Cross

Picture
With some frost still lingering on the ground, in the shadows of the bushes, BR blue Class 33/0 No.33111 approaches Norden with a service from Swanage carrying the correct '98' headcode which was used in BR days for the Swanage branch.

Wool

Picture
SouthWest Trains Class 444 'Desiro' unit No.444004 passes East Burton, on the approach to Wool, working 1W58 11:20 Weymouth - Waterloo.

Wool

Picture
Sweeping round towards Wool is 444036 working 1W16 11:03 Weymouth - Waterloo. The disused sign post is frustrating.

Holton Heath

Picture
Making its first ever visit to Dorset No.6201 Princess Elizabeth flies towards Holton Heath with Steam Dreams Cathedral Express running as 1Z67 08:43 London Victoria - Swanage. Out of sight to the rear is Class 47 No. 47580 County of Essex owned by the Stratford 47 Group.

Wareham

Picture
How refreshing to see no headboard on the front, and no heads and arms from the coach windows, as 73109 and 73107 Tracy [Will You Marry Me?] approach Wareham with UK Railtours 'The Purbeck Adventurer' 1Z63 07:45 Tonbridge - Swanage.

Bournemouth Depot

Picture
Photographically this couldn't have been in a worse place, so a record shot at best.

On long term hire to SouthWest Trains is privately owned Class 73 No.73133,seen here at Bournemouth depot with a vehicle from a 458 unit. The locomotive is used along with SWT's own Class 73 No.73235 to shunt vehicles around the depot that are undergoing overhaul, and including those using the new paint-shop facility.

Bournemouth Depot

Picture
It could almost be the 1990's / 2000's all over again at Bournemouth depot as Class 442 No. 2418 stands on No.7 Road, whilst alongside is Class 73 No.73235 on No.8 Road. They stand within the Carriage Cleaning Shed which dates back to about 1935, and overall hasn't changed a great deal over the years.

Dorchester West

Picture
With the weather being so dismal at the moment this was never going to be anything more than a record shot, and certainly not what I had planned, or hoped for.

Passing slowly through Dorchester West heading for Weymouth is 37116 working 1Z78 08:37 Derby RTC - Bristol High Level sidings via Weymouth. To the rear is 37219.

Maiden Newton

Picture
Although closed on 15 May 1988 the GWR Type 7D signalbox at Maiden Newton still presents a handsome sight.

Poole

Picture
It wasn't long before the fine morning weather started to cave in with cloud arriving from the west, but not before a couple more shots.
