The Dainton Banker liked ikcdab's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.

The Dainton Banker liked Pete Thornhill's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
Okay, the railway does seem to be heading back in the right direction but it would be interesting to know how it got here from not so long ago needing £5 million in external funding at a rate of £1m a year to being back on track without any of...

Crawley Ben liked 1472's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
As the longest heritage railway steam ride with plenty of hill climbing action (GW locos don't disappoint for noise) and delightful countryside, with a sea side destination, the WSR takes a lot of beating. But those are not my words, they are the...
