Swanage Railway

About

What’s better than a leisurely trip behind an historic steam engine through an area of natural beauty.

The six mile 30 minute ride takes passengers through the beautiful Purbeck countryside including stunning views of the ruins of Corfe Castle.

The stations at Norden, Corfe Castle, Harmans Cross, Herston and Swanage provide access to historic villages, country walks and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, whilst providing a valuable transport service for the local community.

The easiest way to travel is with our “Freedom of the Line”, this allows unlimited travel on any of our trains all day long. At only £21 Adults, £13 Children and £57.00 for a Family (2 Adults and Up to 3 Children) for normal running days, includes entry to all our stations and our two museums.
 

FLYING SCOTSMAN 

Record-breaking ‘Flying Scotsman’ – the most famous steam locomotive in the world visited Swanage Railway in March 2019 and was reunited with a rare Pullman observation carriage for the first time in almost 50 years.​

Flying Scotsman' last visited the Swanage Railway in 1994 – when it only hauled trains to Harman's Cross – so it's very exciting that No. 60103 hauled trains all the way to Corfe Castle and Norden, during the 2019 visit to Swanage.
