Probably was. That's where she's based at the moment, according to The A1 Trust website.

And running today from Waterloo to Swanage hauling The Cathedrals Express. Departed 0945 and currently (1401) just passing Poole... on time.

Apparently not as according to Steam Dreams they were told at 16:45 last night that this train will be diesel hauled.

This is because of line side fires caused by to arcing and grinding, I assume this is from the 3rd rail.
