The Swanage Belle<\/strong> – Thursday 22nd September saw the postponed run of The Railway Touring Company organised “The Swanage Belle” headed up by LMS Jubilee 4-6-0 No. 45596 ‘Bahamas’ on the outward run from London Victoria and West Coast Railway Company (WCRC) Class 47 No. 47804 on the return working Swanage as far as Southampton where the steam locomotive once again took control of the train. Premier dining would have set you back \u00a3285 and a standard class seat \u00a3115 plus \u00a31 for a bag of crisps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
