Photographs taken on Saturday 19th March 2005 - Members Weekend event
Major improvements at Corfe Castle - new signal box (in upside station building), downside platform and pedestrian level crossing - mean that trains can pass here as well as at Harmans Cross. The new passing place allows for more intensive working, first utilised for the members weekend with three trains in action throughout the two days.
