BR ‘7MT’ No. 70000 Britannia helped to draw in the crowds for the Swanage Railway Spring Steam Gala on Saturday, March 25. In a sea of green, the Pacific is pictured working the 12.33 service from Swanage in ‘top and tail’ formation with resident SR ‘U’ Class 2-6-0 No. 31806 (just visible under the bridge). It continued beyond Norden on the extended section of the line towards the River Frome, the western boundary of the line during gala
events.
