Hint of Steam Traction on Lymington Branch?

[ashurstdave]

There has been a "Friends of the Lymington Branch" formed and in the local press there was a hint that there may be a special day in 2010 when steam traction could be used - no doubt top and tail. For the information of railway photographers without a car who wishes to take photos at Lymington Junction ( Sway Road ) where the orginal junction was, buses have now started running again between Brockenhurst Station and Lymington Junction ( 56 or 56A ) - it saves a long hike! The road on the bridge is single track with traffic lights, but there is ample safe room either side of the road on the bridge for photographs for both the branch trains and main line.

The problem with that, as I can see is that you will get more people photographing that travelling and then the trains won't get the patronage they deserve. It's such a picturesque line.

It looks good, its just a shame that like quoted above.... you won't probably get many people traveling, as they will want to photograph the specials.
