Steam returned on the Bournemouth to Weymouth line this week, when The Railway Touring Company ran one of their summer day trips from London to Weymouth. The steam traction was in the form of LMS Jubilee Class 4-6-0 No. 45596 \u2018Bahamas\u2019 with support at the rear of the train from West Coast Railway Class 47 Brush Type 4 diesel locomotive No. 47802.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The departure from Weymouth was planned to have been hauled by Swanage based Southern Railway U Class 2-6-0 No.31806 but a combination of gauging concerns and politics meant the return leg was instead in the hands of WCRC Class 47 No. 47802. The train reverses at Southampton Central with \u2018Bahamas\u2019 once again taking charge for the run to London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
