Swanage Railway is continuing to explore sustainable ways of operating its historic railway. One example is the use of solar-powered signal lamps at Furzebrook, Corfe Castle and Herston Halt, helping to reduce energy consumption while maintaining safe and reliable railway operations. These installations demonstrate how modern technology can be sensitively integrated into a heritage setting, supporting the railway's commitment to preserving the past while looking towards a more sustainable future.
