Swanage station gets new drainage system
Volunteers, including members of the army, are carrying out drainage system replacement work at a Dorset railway station.
The Victorian Swanage Railway, which is partly built on what was once an estuary, has muddy silt coming up from beneath the tracks.
The tracks have been lifted to remove the post-war drainage system and replace it with a £100,000 modern system.
Full steam train services are due to resume between Norden Park and Ride, Corfe Castle, Harman's Cross, Herston Halt and Swanage on 3 March.
