Diesel Gala & Beer Festival 2024: Jonty arrives back at Harmans Cross at 11.34. Class 37/0 no. 37219 "Jonty Jarvis" passes the attractive ex-LSWR bracket signal on the 11.15 Swanage to Corfe Castle service. Since my last visit to the Gala in 2015 the service pattern had changed, with longer distant trains alternating with shorter "local" trains between Corfe and Swanage. So it meant that you would see more between the two stations than you would beyond Corfe toward Norden.
