More info: Corfe Castle railway station is located in the village of Corfe Castle. Originally an intermediate station on the London and South Western Railway (L and SWR) branch line from Wareham to Swanage, the line and station were closed by British Rail in 1972.
Corfe Castle has since reopened as a station on the Swanage Railway, a heritage railway, which operates full-size steam and diesel passenger trains along the five and a half miles of line from Norden to Corfe Castle and down to the Victoria seaside town of Swanage. The signal box at Corfe Castle Station has won a national heritage award and at the back of the station is a free railway museum.
The five steam engines on the line including the Battle of Britain Class Manston are regularly rotated so there is always something new for visitors to see. A ride in the Pullman Observation Car when it is running offers superb views of the valley to and from Swanage.
About ten special trains a year visit Corfe Castle and Swanage from the rest of England using mainline steam engines.
