Swanage Railway Diesel Gala – 12-14 May 2023

Swanage Railway is delighted to announce its 16th annual Diesel Gala and Beer Festival, running from Friday the 12th to Sunday the 14th of May, with a preview day on Thursday the 11th.

Once again and back by popular demand, an intensive service will operate on all three days over our full 10-mile line between Swanage and our boundary with Network Rail at “Bridge 4” over the River Frome on the line towards Wareham. Our well established three train service will be in operation, with two trains operating over the full length of the line, and a shuttle in operation between Swanage and Corfe Castle.

Details of the preview day and evening services will be announced soon.

Once again there will be a Beer Festival in Corfe Castle Station yard. Swanage Station will play host to several trade stands and, subject to confirmation, a BBQ.
