A lovely heritage railway with some genuinely lovely rolling stock, and the volunteers here are genuinely lovely. Their stations, especially Corfe Castle are really beautiful. But the modern aspects like the electronic announcements and digital screens everywhere really has ruined the heritage aesthetics of the line.
This train journey must be the most expensive per mile we have ever taken. The short and slow trip up to Norden station is only about seven miles away, takes half an hour and costs £27.50. The attraction is of course being on a vintage steam train, but the best part of the journey is the view, especially the ruins of Corfe Castle up on a hill. The ticket collector was cheerful and for those who had their tickets only on the phone, he wold pretend to clip a whole with his old fashioned ticket punch.
Despite heavy rain and ferocious winds, we, and our 3 grandchildren had a great visit. What stood out for us was the old school helpfulness of the staff.. we had one of those horrendous double buggies, but, with the help from staff, were able to put in the gaurd's carriage without the hassle of removing children and folding it down..
Great journey, about 15-20 mins and back. Stopped on way back to Corfe Castle as nothing at the end of the line. Swanage is a lovely town with easy accessible assortment of shops. Could spend 2hours plus here.
Sad to see that the railway no longer accepts cash! Very poor decision as a long loved railway and station. I visited for the steam gala and found cashless difficult. Hence the 1 star review. * However! * On a very positive note, the lovely Food Dude Burger Van accepts cash and had amazing customer service and wonderful food, I hope to see them again at Swanage Railway events and highly recommend their food.
