PhilEakins Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Were you succesfull in raising enough money to be joined to national network? If I remember it correctly you had to raise a lot of money quickly to ensure stay connected due to resignalling at Wareham The link is there and is used for charters and transfer of locos etc. The money is to pay for the signalling to enable a scheduled passenger service to operate from Swanage to Wareham/Poole. The lack of the funds will not affect the link itself and the occasional traffic, just the scheduled service. Sorry Rich - I'll miss you. My next rostered turn is Tuesday. Have a pint for me!
