The first regular train service from Wareham to Swanage opened today. There are said to be four trains a day. The through trains are diesel powered, in addition to the more numerous steam trains travelling only from Swanage to just beyond Corfe Castle. It was featured on the BBC local news.
I am thinking about going down tomorrow. I may take a regular electric train from Poole to Wareham and there change to the Swanage train.
