10-069 Gresley A4 pacific No. 60019 'Bittern' heads the 'Dorset Coast Express' through Hinton Admiral on 11 August 2010
11/08/10: I've tried looking into instances of A4s on the Bournemouth line in steam days and so far have come up with:
11/03/63 N0. 60022 'Mallard' was serviced at Eastleigh and worked a special the next day.
??/??/??: No 60008 'Dwight D. Eisenhower' was hauled dead to Eastleigh by No. 35012 'United States Lines' before shipment on to the States.
03/06/67 and 04/06/07- Preserved No 4498 'Sir Nigel Gresley' worked a special from Waterloo both days, but I've not established where to on the Saturday, but pictures 33 and 34 in Waterloo Sunset by Jim Blake shows the A4 at Southampton Central and Weymouth on the Sunday.
