Not at all - the announcement which I saw this week, and presumably the one you saw, made it sound like it was being promoted for the first time.

Bit strange this announcement.   Places have been available to book on the official website since before Christmas.   Also the Swanage and Mid Hants heritage lines.

Possibly "strange" because I have only just picked it up ... as a results of a message that alerted me towards dates later in the year and planning for 2026.
