Early evening train returning to Wareham. Guess at summer of 1969. I recall closure notices at the station, but it was not enacted until 1972. Now a preserved line. [scanned slide]

A partner photo to one elsewhere in the Photostream, over forty years on. Taken from the other side of the line as the original view is obscured by plants. The entire centre section of 'the Approach' has been renewed. A Class 153 instead of a BTH Type 1, but above all the line is still open. The track is now crossed here by the 470km Macmillan Way footpath (Lincolnshire-Dorset), with a stile on either side that gives a safe and legal view.
