Class 444 Desiro EMU 444008 powers away from Wareham working 1W64 1420 from Weymouth to London Waterloo and passes West Coast Railways' 57601 with 56301, 37503, D9009 Alycidon and D1062 Western Courier on the drawbar. The convoy is heading for Swanage for the 2011 Diesel Gala. 5/5/2011
This is a new location for me, Holes Bay part of Poole's huge natural harbour, the second largest in the World after Sydney. Desiro class 444 444025 crosses the water on the low embankment with 1W59 0905 Waterloo to Weymouth.
An up service with 444043 forming 1W16 1103 Weymouth to Waterloo drops over the embankment approaching one of the two bridges which allows water behind it. The pontoon is there for the refurbishment work to be carried out.
