A Network Rail Stoneblower passing just before Midnight on it's way towards Moreton, where overnight works are taking place all week.

One last look at what has been quite a 2025, even if things didn't quite go to plan.

The final chapter of a pretty surreal week. The video covering the week-long engineering works. Now available on my YouTube Channel.

Despite being very wet outside and everything was running very late, SWR trains have officially returned after a week away.

For day 6 of Week-Long Engineering Works, it was all about the buses.

Spent today capturing the rail replacement buses that been operating throughout the week-long engineering works. Like this one you see here.

Despite the line east of the station being closed, trains services continue to operate between here and Weymouth.

Day 4 of no trains brings us to Dorchester South to see the trains that are still running.

Day 3 of no trains was a big one, as a Tamper would pass by in the early hours of the morning, on it's way towards Wool.

We also went back down to Syward Crossing to see the current progress, with the new rails now in place.

It wasn't easy to capture though. Since it doesn't run to a set timetable, you had no idea of when it would show up until the last second.

Day 2 of the week-long engineering works was all about the digger on rails, which took centre stage, as I was able to capture it several times.

I feel like this is just the beginning, as there will certainly be more to come as the week progresses.

Highlights from the 1st day of no trains, due to week-long engineering works taking place.

The beginning of a whole week of no trains as engineering works take place, as we see this Liebherr Digger on Rails passing by towards Syward Crossing, where works are currently taking place.

The Network Rail RHTT (Operated by a British Rail MPV) pulling into the yard at Dorchester South.

One of the best locations to pass by on the train, the vast complex at Eastleigh.

This was formed of a midnight engineering train, train trip to Maiden Newton and a BR MPV in the yard.

Something you don't usually see everyday, a Network Rail BR MPV parked in the yard, just east of Dorchester South Station.

A midnight engineering train that stopped just short at a red light and never came past where we were, turning back right at that spot.

A couple of images also I took during it's time here before it departed into the night towards Witley.

I captured each time and created a video from it, now available on my YouTube Channel.

Autumn is here with the RHTT's back out in force to keep the tracks clear.

It's that time of year again, as the RHTT's have arrived! Operated as usual by a British Rail MPV (DR 98963 & 98913 respectively).

Easter weekend. Great weekend to explore. Let's
get the train. Bad idea. Won't bother next time. #Engineeringworks
