Swanage railway reconnection to network to go ahead
Swanage will be re-connected to the national rail network, restoring a link broken almost 40 years ago.
The Swanage Railway Trust had to raise £3m so Network Rail can connect the Swanage line to the main network for the first time since 1972.
Purbeck District Council announced its support on Thursday a week after Dorset County Council gave its backing. The funding is needed for re-signalling of the Wareham to Swanage branch line at Worgret Junction
