Castle. Certain services were extended to terminate at Wareham, allowing interchange with the main line. This was achieved on 13 June 2017 when a four-coach diesel-hauled trial service began running to Wareham. This was the first train to work between the two towns since the Swanage branch closed in 1972. Special services operated between Wareham and Swanage on some dates during the summer of 2017 as a trial, a further trial is planned but no dates announced as yet (Nov 2021).
