We had an amazing time hosting and operating The Polar Express in both 2023 and 2024 during the festive period. A big part of what makes this experience so much fun is the staff on the train who perform to all of our guests, but there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that our visitors don’t get to see… …Until now - the Swanage Railway Films Unit have created a fantastic behind the scenes video that shows just some of the work that goes into operating The Polar Express on the Swanage Railw

It can get pretty busy in ‘the box’ during a gala event when there are lots of locomotive changes taking place, so spare a thought for them when you’re next visiting!

Over the last few weeks the staff and volunteers of our Loco Carriage and Wagon Department have continued to make excellent progress on the overhaul of U Class Mogul 31806. Another significant milestone was reached today when the loco was moved under its own power for the first time since it received the newly overhauled boiler from N Class 31874. A tremendous achievement considering that 31806 was withdrawn from traffic less than 3 months ago! You may also have noticed that the loco sounds a li
