The Dorset Coast Express will pass through Bournemouth, Poole, Wareham and Dorchester and arrive in Weymouth train station at 2.08pm, today, Wednesday, July 24.
It will leave to make its return journey to London at 5.36pm.
The train left London Victoria station at around 8.45am and is steam hauled by Black 5 class steam locomotive No. 44871.
