S&D snow





Four superb pictures taken today just north of Sturminster Newton by dance friend Paula Skinner.

With the road network in disarray the S&D should be fulfilling its permanent role of carrying passengers and freight through the snow covered countryside. I wonder how many stuck and skidding drivers looked longingly as our soon-to-be-restored line and had the time to reflect on the sheer madness of closing an essential trunk railway way back in the oil age?

    Coulber Bridge is such a lovely location.

    Sorry to be pedantic, but it's COLBER bridge - and that of course refers only to the still extant footbridge which. incidentally, was built before the S&D existed!
