We asked a few of our enthusiastic volunteers what the Swanage Railway means to them and why the ‘Save Our Service’ appeal urgently needs your help today! The exciting scenes are also a reminder of why the heritage industry is such an important part of history that can only continue with your support. Thanks to many extremely generous donations £80,977 has been raised so far (18/04/20). Considering we would normally have started running daily services by now however, this will not yet recuperate

Although the Classic and Steam Vehicle Show at Harmans Cross has been cancelled today, due to the poor weather, 563 is still running along with our class 117 Diesel Multiple Unit on the green timetable so you can take shelter onboard our trains and enjoy a ride! Please note that the 14:00 steam departure from Swanage is almost fully booked with just a handful of seats available. We would recommend avoiding that particular train, unless you already have a seat specifically booked on this service.
