One of Britain's most popular heritage railways has been given a 21st century update with new digital screens giving steam train passengers real time information.

Swanage Railway in Dorset has become the first heritage railway in the country to unveil new digital information boards.

The screens will be housed in traditional 1950s notice board-style frames to keep the modern technology in keeping with its vintage surroundings.
