Podcasting from Dorset

We've now started podcasting - albeit still with the pre-Isle of Man Conference Dorset theme (see blogs 21st August) - and you can find an initial Swanage Railway podcast at our podcast site.

This podcast briefly introduces the Swanage Railway, Swanage's John Mowlem stone-quarrying legacy and, very briefly, the Nothe Fort in Weymouth. More details on all these are available by following these links:

• Swanage Railway with news bulletins here
• John Mowlem and the present day company
• Nothe Fort

I'm planning to add some pictures of the 2002 mainline train link-up below (when I can track 'em down on this computer) - a very crowded day in Swanage, with crowds at every bridge. The local council traffic wardens had a great day too - as so many cars were, inevitably, parked illegally: At the time it seemed so ironic that they were taking advantage on such a day - which should have celebrated the possible reduction in reliance on the car (you can guess we got a ticket, can't you).
