5929 Sites History and Information Below

First site started January 2010 and four more sites added up to December 2018. Sites upgraded and all the sites converted to one site (5929) January 2019. Site number two added (5929 Express) January 2021 due to volume of pictures. Site number three added November 2023 due to 5929 reaching picture capacity. Site number three is (5929 Condor). All three sites are on my own server. 2024 July (UPGRADE) the above three sites converted to one site 5929. 5929 Express and 5929 Condor are now archive sites not on view. Archive pictures will appear on 5929 at 5929 Archive on a regular basis. These changes will make operating the site more easy for your Host. * Scroll to the bottom of this page to see how to use the site.

Your Host Nick Hanham

This site is Hosted by Nick Hanham, Retired Driver on the Swanage
Railway
I have been involved with the Swanage Railway since January 1973 and taken many pictures of the railway in this time. In 2008 I started a photographic diary of my regular volunteer turns and these pictures are recorded in Swanage Railway Albums.
I have had a passion for all types of transport throughout my life and now wish to share this interest, in photographic form, with all who are like-minded.
This web site has been developed since January 2010.
In addition to the Swanage Railway, all sorts of transport in the UK and Worldwide is now on offer since I began photography in 1953.
The site now contains many more non-transport pictures.
Please also note that the sites are mainly made up of random pictures with no specific order or information, except dates and location. I hope the viewer will simply delve in and look at events as they took place and enjoy the transport and other photographs.
All the pictures in the Albums have been taken by your Host & Webmaster Nick Hanham, with a few exceptions taken by your Host's Wife and late Mother.
My photography is via public access.
Any pictures taken on private property were taken with permission.
I do not tolerate or condone trespass to obtain pictures.
**************************************
LINESIDE PICTURES TAKEN ON THE SWANAGE RAILWAY.

Do NOT Trespass on the Railway.

SWANAGE RAILWAY ON THE FOOTPLATE
During my time as a Cleaner, Fireman and Driver I kept a record of the miles covered from 1978 to 2018 as follows:
39,443 miles.
This started with a round trip of 200 yards increasing to a 12 mile round trip over the years.
I was also passed out to drive on the extension from Norden to Bridge 2, just a short distance from the main Waterloo Weymouth line at Worgret Junction, Wareham.
WHAT A PRIVILEDGE TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE ON THE Swanage Railway AND BE TRUSTED WITH MANY WONDERFUL AND HISTORIC LOCOMOTIVES
**************************************
This site, 5929, is dedicated to the my late Stepfather Jocelyn Hanham
also
Dr. Fred Dibnah and Sir John Betjeman
