    26007 stands at Harmans Cross on its last trip of the gala with 2N26 1710 Swanage to Norden. It will cross the Deltic here.
    The Deltic 55022 runs in passing the superb little signalbox at Harmans Cross. The working timetable shows this and the following down train as 2H24 but as it runs to Swanage it should be 2S23 but the crew have it showing 2H23!!! Hmmmm!! And so the 2009 Swanage Diesel Gala comes to an end for me and I catch the class 26 to Norden and a lift back to Wareham. 10/5/09 Here's to next year......
