Coming shortly there's a diesel train to Swanage from  Victoria, the first connection for 40 years. Such has been the interest that on the 2nd May there is going to be a steam hauled train on the same route. I expect that both will pass through Brentford.http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/4112980.London_to_Swanage_train_service_to_begin/02/05/09 - The Dorset Coast Express-Ex SR No 34067 'Tangmere' London Victoria(p/u 08:00/20:00) - Swanage
